It needs to sell well enough to provide an ecosystem where games can sell well and make Nintendo adequate profits.

Install base is not a direct measure of whether or not a platform is successful. A device that sells 30 million and earns the company a few billion in profit is far more successful than a device that sells 100 million and causes the company to lose a few billion.

How right this is... 

It's very sad that few gamers are interested in financial success or  some think that a super huge installbase gurantees much money making...

It's not if you sell the hardware on loss for long and it  can't be offset from software sales at least for some time.
