Keep in mind the amount of home console gamers buying a Switch will probably be much higher than Wii U, so if it didn't pass 3ds I think that would be very unfortunate, although I wouldn't say it's a failure, but what do you guys think? |
Switch doesn't need to sell more than that to be considered that is success. Despite fact that Switch is hybrid, its still one product, and has home console price point and also have price point of home console not of handheld. Also Switch from start is selling with profit, Wii U was selling at loss at launch, and 3DS had very early huge price drop (at that point it was selling at solid loss) in order to start selling, also there is point that with Switch Nintendo will have expenses (hardware and software R&D, game development expenses, marketing expenses...) of just one platform compared to expenses for two different platforms, in other words, Switch can easily be more profitable for Nintendo than 3DS and Wii U were combined even if it sell less than 3DS.
At this point Switch will be 60m+ seller, how much exactly (60m+, 70m+, 80m+, 90m+, 100m+) we still don't know, but will be succes in any case.
