Nintendo needs to position this as the successor to both the 3DS and the Wii U.

Sadly though, the price point simply isn't going to make it popular to the handheld crowd. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo sold a less expensive package down the line. One that doesn't include the docking station.

But at 299$ (399$ in Canada), I simply don't see the console going for their usual handheld crowd. So I expect the 3DS to remain alive for quite some time.
