Exactly this.
Every Nintendo home console with the exception of the Wii has failed to outsell its predecessor. The NX just turning the ship around and outselling the Wii U is going to be a tall order, but if the NX can actually double the Wii U's install base and sell 25 million consoles, I would have to consider it a success.
Of course, there is always the chance that the NX could catch lightning and become crazy popular in which case the bar for success should move up to 60-80 million. Assuming that the NX doesn't become a pop culture symbol, however, I think 25 million is a very reasonable milestone to shoot for.
