We still don't know of those 60-47million are going to upgrade to Switch. And I doubt Nintendo is aiming to just get that as they want to improve this gen when they are definitely not very successful.

You still don't get the point you earliar were arguing about the Wii U userbase, that 60-47m makes them not as significant because in theory if they all left and every 3DS owner buys a switch Nintendo would have matched/outsold the SNES, or even matched the NES if all 60m buy it. Nintendo aren't looking at it the way you are they're likely looking at the switch as a combined userbase which is probably why 3DS owners are having it good right now as Nintendo likely is more focused on them migrating over. Despite some people complaining a number of Wii U owners in reality would still migrate over, if Switch is priced right I can see it grabbing some non Wii U console gamers as well.

Selling 60-47m on a new hybrid device is an improvement over this gen they would have outsold all but 2 of their previous, they'd have a significant userbase in both portable and home markets again. It would be one 60-47m that they can fully focus and build on for every future gen.
