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

25 is probably too close to the GameCube which Nintendo has basically admitted was a failure.

But 30 would in line with the N64, which is a clear notch better.

The N64 wasn't really a success either. It did really well in the USA, but it was a failure in europe and japan.

I still think 30 millions wouldn't cut it. We're not talking about an "ok results", we're talking about "success".  

Here are the home consoles from Nintendo that are considered success:

-Wii 100 million

-NES 60 millions

-Snes 50 millions

 

You can't go lower than 40 millions lifetime.

Where are you deriving your definition of success? Is this from Nintendo's own mouth?

Likely success is completely respective to what they hoped to achieve. It is well known the gamecube was a bigger money maker than the 360 and PS3. It could only be a failure in terms of what Nintendo had hoped to achieve. Same with N64.
