If the rumored specs are true then ... you know that "jack of all trades but master of none" line? That.

If doesn't look like a very good on-the-go handheld and it might not be a very good home console in terms of third party gaming, either. Both of those are important factors for many people.

Now, I'm not saying it won't be successful. It will have some very popular software. At the same time, though, I don't see why it would be a "gigantic smash hit".

Like you, I'm not saying that the NS will fail but from what we know and what we can reasonably deduce, it doesn't seem like it's going to please anyone outside of core Nintendo fans.  The NS is probably a core Nintendo fan's dream since this heavily implies a combined 1st party library but to everyone else, it seems like it's either going to be too expensive or too weak for them to care about it.  Core gamers probably care more about the PS4Pro and the xbox Scorpion now  that they can assume that the NS is going to be weak while casuals and kids will probably be content sticking with free/cheap smartphone/tablet games.
