I personally like them as destruction-loving demons, who corrupt the act of passion into an act of destruction, of primal loss of control, of an act driven by a cruel subconscious rather than by a calculated need for power. That all speaks to demonic intent to me. There is no interest in rulership and control. They want to bang while Rome burns. So to me, they're demons.But I don't object to others seeing them as devils, really. Don't hurt me one bit, as long as they can be demons in my games.  This is a prime example of where WotC could embrace the contradiction, and say "They might be one. They might be the other. They might be neither, or both.  It's up to you, DM. Here's how that choice might tell you something about the demons or devils in your world, and about the goals of the succubi specifically. All the PC's know about them is what YOU, as a DM, tell them, so here's a place we can empower you to do whatever you like best."But they seem to be drinking mightily from the well of One True Way these days, so instead we get multi-page internet threads about mutually exclusive One True Ways instead of a rational position of: "Man, do what you want, and lets make the game support BOTH ways!"</blockquote>
