Huge profit equals sucess in my book, so, yes, I think that Nintendo is probably aiming at something that brings huge revenue with a modest install base, if the rumor is true.

But, keep in mind that I do not think that sucess means dominating a market, being number one, just and only having a good profit.

But Nintendo could make a lot more profit by having a bigger installbase to sell their software to, and 40 million is way below the current installbases of the Wii U and 3DS, one of which was a complete failure saleswise, and another that was a moderate success. Nintendo should easily be able to attain a 80 million installbase next gen, and if they are combining handheld and home console, they'll need that much to sell enough software to make huge profit.

The 3DS is pretty sucessful though, isn´t? Edit: Maybe they are going for a repeat of that and the profit of shovelware that the mobile chip will bring. I am thinking cheap or free ports of the thousands of mobile games, maybe that is what Nintendo wants. I am only expeculating though.
