I think its simple.
1. It will have no third party support because of limited power specs.
2. It's portability is too limited to be a replacement for the 3DS.
3. It's too pricy.
4. People are burned because of the way they handled the Wii U.
So, this won't capture the mainstream gamer audience. The Nintendo harcore audience is smaller due to burning. The portable audience will stick to the 3DS and wait for a sucessor or move to phones.
More casual audiences will be turned off by the price (and theres really no good gimmick to pull them in. It also looks like its too frail for kids to handle).
So... yeah... i see it potencially doing worse than the Wii U. Only advantage is it actually seems to have a few more games coming this year. But not that many and subject to delay.
There are also no portable titles. Its all Wii/U ports or sequals coming, so thats another reason why i don't see this appealing to portable fans on top of the non-portability.

I second this. I don't know what they were thinking.
