Switch is benefiting from being the single platform they have to focus on. Honestly, the numbers don't seem all that impressive to me when you consider that in prior gens they've had two successful platform they were supporting.

What numbers don't seem impressive?  Fastest selling Nintendo (or any company) game device ever in multiple countries is not impressive?

Hang on...are you comparing Wii + DS and/or Wii U + 3DS to Switch?

I don’t like the fallacy that the Switch will be deemed less successful in people’s eyes if it doesn’t reach the combined hardware sales of a previous generation’s home console and handheld. It leaves out do many more important factors, chief among them the facts that Nintendo is no longer splitting R&D and marketing costs across two or three consoles, game development across two or three different consoles, or splitting its playerbase across two or three different consoles. Those are much more important for long-term health and sustainability than the raw number of hardware units sold.
