I think they will have to go after some portion of the tablet users. 

Obviously they're going to get their ass kicked by Apple, but Apple only sells like 25% of the tablets on the market or less. Nintendo I think wants to claim a stake on some of the rest and start making money off Android apps. 

ya they will try to appeal to tablet owners but its not like Nintendo is aiming to get people to stop playing games on tablets.

Well NX may very BE a tablet, lol at this stage. They can't stop kids from playing tablet games, so they may as well make money off it and take a 30% cut (plus on NX they'd get a 100% cut of their own mobile game profits instead of having to give 30% to Apple and Google). 

If they're going to do this that's probably their smartest play at this point, embrace Android, stop trying to fight it, it is like trying to row a boat up stream.

If they can ship 10-15 million NX units a year + all the money they will make off mobile games in general + ancilliary money from things like movie licensing, they will make a good enough amount of money.
