How many NX's does Nintendo need to sell for it to be considered a success?

Success for Nintendo is based on profit. As long as it makes them a very good profit, it will be a success. # of consoles isn't really a factor though I suppose it will be in the 20-30m range

Im sure the Wii U has turned in some sort of profit at this point, but Nintendo still considers the console a failure. Success is not alway synonymous with units sold but its a pretty fair indicator.

I actually think wiiu cost them money. Maybe a tiny bit of profit, but Im not sure it makes up for the r&d. I honestly don't know the figures but I know it's cost them quite a bit.
