I don't see it necessary for this to be some super big hit.
It needs to do better than Wii U, but that's not saying much.
But with mediocre success, they can unify their handheld/console games.
That simplifies their offering alot, and the savings can go into better/more games.
That's just a more sustainable model, even with mediocre sales.
Nobody expects them to recreate Wii style success, they don't need to.
This is a solid upgrade for 3DS customers, and it's livingroom utility
means those customers have a big screen more social way to game.
(along with dubious multiplayer detached controller thing)
The hybrid thing makes it even more desirable as 2nd console for MS/Sony gamers.
We'll see what console/toaster mode looks like power-wise,
but with what looks like good 3rd party and 1st party support,
it should do decently well, assuming they can keep costs down, hopefully $250.
