Does It Really Matter How Much Switch Sells?

It could sell 100 million even, and I don't think developers would make it their focus. 

PS4/XB1 would be nearing 170-180 million between them and then you also factor in PC/Steam players ... the x86 consoles + PC are going to be the default platforms no matter what. 

Nintendo will get Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, Shin Megami Tensei, and the like ... but they are basically gaurunteed these games unless they fucked up so miserably this gen. 

Again, SOME DEVELOPERS.

Switch could appeal to audiences PS4/X1 don't do as well.

Those developers like LEGO, Just Dance, casual/party game devs, indie devs, Japanese devs will support the Switch if its reasonably successful no matter what. So again, nothing really changes here. 

Even look at the Wii, you tell me which major games it really "took away" or got from other platforms even with record breaking sales. Likely probably not a whole lot ... maybe Monster Hunter and uh .... crickets. Those other nichey types of games like No More Heroes and the like would've been on the Wii anyway had it sold 40-50 million.
