As long as we're talking about "core gamers", then yeah, it is. Core gamers are really picky about that - it's one of the reasons why PS4 is doing so much better than the X1 right now. People that enjoy Halo, CoD, Battlefield, Battlefront, Uncharted and other games like that won't choose Switch over XB1 or PS4 if it can't compete graphically. Which it won't. What Nintendo needs to do is expand their audience, and I'm not entirely convinced the Switch will be ble to do that to a large enough degree - not will the info we have now.
Yes, 50-60m units sold would be great, and everything else above that is amazing, like you said. Maybe they have some awesome feutures in the Switch we don't know of yet that will push it to even higher numbers.

That's why Nintendo is taking the initiative to start expanding awareness of their IPs, using mobile, TV shows, theme parks, amiibo/merchandise, films, etc. Once the Switch gets off the ground, we'll see more projects on the horizon to promote these IPs.

So far, we've seen VERY little of that. Have they truly ramped up merchandising? I haven't seen any of that. The only thing they've ramped up so far is the theme park and their mobile precense.
