Yes I want it to succeed, but it will not succeed just because a bunch of people on an internet message board want it to.
If it is going to succeed it first and foremost has to be a good game. Not necessarily a game that matches my personal tastes (though my tastes are pretty broad). If I don't like the game, but a 90% of roleplayers do, that's fine. I'll play something else and not begrudge D&D it's success. But if I don't like it and 90% of other roleplayers don't like it, no amount of goodwill will save the game.
Alas making a good game is not the only key to success, and WOTC will also have to do some great marketing and all the rest. I wish them well in those efforts too.
