If Nintendo Switch fails this will be Nintendo last console.

I honestly do not think the power level is a HUGE factor. As long as it is close to or on par with XB1 or PS4 then it will be okay. It just comes down to the games and marketing. Im pretty sure almost half of the 3DS install base will probably pick up a Switch because it does what the 3DS does and maybe even better. I think at least 7 million of the Wii U install base will pick up the Switch because they actually bought the Wii U regardless of its many many many flaws. 

I think 50-60 million would be a perfect number to hit. Anything above that is amazing numbers. If it hits 80 million then that will be astonishing.

I think that power level will be a huge factor.  If the system is not on par with PS4 / XBox One, then it will be much harder for 3rd parties to port games to the Switch.  If that happens, you will have software droughts, which would lead to less sales, and a repeat of what happened with Wii U.

Rumours suggest it is not that far off from the Xbox One. Betheseda who stated that they will only support the Switch if it is as powerful as the Xbox One are supposedly supporting it. A bunch of devs have also expressed interest in the NS. There will probably also be waaaaaaaaaay more first parties releasing on the console because Nintendo's resources are combined now So far it looks good. I guess we will just have to find out.
