The title speaks for itself...I guess.
Overdue genius book
or
a play for big money, mindless crossover?

A little of both, I imagine.
In some ways, it makes sense for this joint team to exist. It's where the Marvel Universe has been heading for the past 8ish years. The Avengers franchise has grown pretty large, challenging the X-Men in sheer size and volume. All the while, they've had their own, on-going storylines and subplots and only really crossed over when big events occurred and even, there was little to no interaction. It does make sense to have a team to that touches both sides of the fence as it were - a team familiar with both big, large Avengers-type threats (Kang, Ultron, etc) and Mutant-related threats (Apocalypse, Sinister, etc).
I think it's kinda cool to have a book that can be pointed to as the basic center of the MU. Remender is very well liked and the artists they have are pretty good. So far, it's been pretty surprising and has had some very interesting twists and turns.
I like that Havok has become more important. I like that Captain America is taking a more active role in Xavier's dream.
I don't really know how much more money it's really bringing. They could have just had million-ith X-title or Avengers title. At least it's unique?

I vote for the latter, though not surprising considering this has been par for the course for Marvel for nearly 30 years now.

Marvel's a business.

Actually, if you peruse the Uncanny Avengers section of the forum, this turning out to be a (GASP) loved book.
