Was that before or after it was revealed as a hybrid?

I remember saying that I would consider it as a failure if it sold less than 40-50m because it was a hybrid. 40m for a home console only would be a great success for Nintendo.

40m sold lifetime for any console is terrible. Especially considering Sony at its worse still sold 90mil+, why lower the standards for Nintendo?

The numbers here say the PS3 sold less than 90m, and also it looks like the PS4 is on its way to sell around the same amount as the PS3, but the XBO is tracking way under the XB360, and Wii U obviously way under Wii.  Why shouldn't we lower what's considered successful in a market place that's apparently decreasing in size?
