I dont think that 70 millions of consoles sold will be a failure,but the Nintendo case is very special,they had two markets:Home console and handheld,now they merged into Switch,i dont think they gonna sell like the wii+Nintendo DS,neither Wii U + nintendo 3ds.

Again I think optics is important, that would appear as a 10 million Nintendo user base decline.

Well first, as others have said Nintendo does not need to hit that mark to be growing and profiting financially.

Otherwise, you seem to be forgetting that Nintendo is now dabbling in mobile phones; I just read a rumor this morning, for instance, that there may be a Zelda title on the way.

Oh, and a few years from now they'll be in many theme parks as well... and have already featured quite prominently in the next Olympics. If brand awareness and "optics" are your biggest concern, it's probably unwarranted; if anything, Nintendo looks like it will be growing its brand significantly in the coming years.
