For my personal tastes:

A solid 8, lots I was happy with.

From a market/sales POV:

A 6.5 to 7. Price, lineup, and third party support have some problems.

That's a pretty accurate evaluation.  For one, the majority of the market won't watch all of this, they'll watch the trailers.  But yeah, the price could be a problem.  Emphasis on *could*.  It will depend on lineup, performance, marketing, etc.  Lineup is a tricky thing to guage.  On the one hand, they're launch lineup is limited in numbers.  But it has Zelda in it, a very big title (which has worked well in the past).  On the other, they are still revealing stuff about release dates.  And then there's the launch being in March and not Holiday, which does change the strategy.  As for first year lineup, that's even harder to judge cause they are still revealing dates.  So far, the 2017 lineup 1st party is 1, 2, Switch, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart Deluxe, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.  Which is, to be fair, pretty dang good.  But we don't know when in the first year they launch and if any will be delayed.  3rd party is vague.  A few good keys were shown and Square seems dedicated.  The sizzle reel was good but still, not clear how much or how far the 3rd party support is/will go.
