I think they have several selling points there but execution is key. Just compare Wii motion+ to Playstation Move. Released close to each other, same premise but one is a success (albeit short lived), the other was dead on arrival. Imagine Pokemon Go wasn't pokemon but instead unbranded, ugly monsters. Would it have blew up? 

Plenty of tablets failed before iPad set the precident, similarly I wouldn't compare a tablet that can hook up to the TV to play angry birds (or whatever is the most popular on the appstore right now) to one that could do the same and play 4 player Mario Kart.

And again this would be Nintendo attempting to expand their audience, its not abandoning the core userbase and relying soley on non gamers. Regardless of its form factor NX is probably going to have the best handheld launch lineup Nintendo have ever had. I mean just look at Zelda... Aside from fears of its size, Nintendo would be making a monster of a portable gaming machine going by the rumours.

Execution being important kind of goes without saying, whatever the product is.  I just can't understand how this is going to expand their audience at all.  

What is the pitch to the casual gamer who doesn't really care about Nintendo games?  Now you can not care about them at home and on the go?

For a price they will more than likely not feel is worth it.
