From Nintendo's perspective, they have to be happy with a system launching at essentially the same price as its predecessor and outperforming it. 

Isn't that the ultimate goal here: growth?

Growth and profits.

Kimishima said that Nintendo wants Switch to reach Wii numbers, but that doesn't mean that Wii numbers are the upper limit. They are the minimum that Nintendo wants to do.

I agree; my assumption was that they were selling at a comparable profit: Nintendo has been pretty good about achieving that.

Wii numbers are the actual target? That's aiming insanely high, because I don't think the market has nearly the footprint it once did. With the prevalence of tablets, smartphones, etc., it seems wise to expect contraction.
