It's of about sales numbers, it is about profits and sustained revenue inflows.
If Nintendo sells 50 million and makes 6 billion in profits over 3 years, and creates a sustained inflow of profit that last several years, that would be a much bigger success than if they sold 120 million, made 1 billion in profits over 3 years, and had no sustained revenue.
Success matters on how much profit Nintendo plans to generate, and the number of sales required to generate it. In addition, they have to push a platform with a healthy environment for their software sales.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
