Yes Switch most certainly will be considered a huge success at 80m since that is a great number in general and this time Nintendo isn't selling at a loss and all their games will be on that 80m installbase instead of just half. 3DS almost pulled that number, so imo it's safe to say the far superior Switch can reach that and more.

Well, it's not like Nintendo sold at loss for long.

I never said it was for long. Nintendo stands to make a lot more money on 80m Switchs than 80m 3DS+Wii Us was all I'm getting at there.
