whatever is profitable for Nintendo, to the eyes of fans and consumers more is better, but the switch could be more profitable than the ps3 with half of the sales/shipments of that console, and that is a success. Kimishima stated that switch will not be sold at a loss , that means profit from day 1. Now we will have to wait to calculate how much Nintendo is going to spend to manufacture the console an the initial shipment.

I came to say this... obviousky she beat me to it.

But i'll add a number. 30-35M lifetime. It's not that I think that's a high or low number, but I believe that's what they need to sustain their business. It's not like everyone that owns the console will be every single game, but an install base that size gives their releases flexibility. And will kinda ensure third parties aren't too afriad to make the investment.
