The thing is supposed replace both Nintendo's handheld market and home console market. So it needs to do equal or better numbers to 3DS plus Wii U sales to be considered a success.

And I think it can pull it off. It's going to get at least double the games of a usual Nintendo platform. I think that is going to help exponentially.

Again. Being realistic is important here. If Apple were to replace ipads and iphones with something in between, it'd be unrealistic for the new product to do better than the two, especially if their numbers were down year after year. So a huge success would be to do 80% of that.

Also, keep in mind that people kept buying several 3ds' and that most likely won't be the case with NS. But since software sales matter more than hardware, it wouldn't be that bad if it sold less units but just as much software.

Just one question, what makes you think people who bought multiple versions on 3DS wont do the same for Switch?

Nintendo always releases a few revisions of their handhelds (GBA-2001, GBA SP-2003, DS-2004, GBA Micro-2005, DS Lite-2006, DSi-2008, DSi XL-2009, 3DS-2011, 3DS XL-2012, 2DS-2013, New 3DS/XL-2014).

There is no reason to think Switch wont also get a few revisions down the line, whether that be a bigger version, a smaller version or a slightly more powerful version with added features.
