I don't know if it's going to eventually fail (I hope not because it's the only really community developed project), but it's having some success now (otherwise why carriers are still investing in it?).

there's arguably still hope left for Ubuntu Touch to become a commercial success

However, I would say that their chances for success is higher than that of Ubuntu since they are going to market soon whereas Ubuntu doesn't even yet have any plans to release a hardware.

Mark did a huge mistake back in 2009 when he chose to become a Steve Jobs wannabe. And now it's too late to turn back. People have moved on to other distros.
And thats the reason Ubuntu touch failed(?)...
You just made my day...
