Saying that Switch HAS to do 3DS levels of sales just to be 'considered' a success is the definition of goal post moving imo. Just like people saying on twitter in a fight I saw that if PS4 doesnt reach PS2 levels of sales its considered a failure/non success,thats absurd.

Yep! That is like saying the PS3 is a failure because it did not beat PS2. 

And lets not forget. The 3DS needed a price cut early in its life. 

If their goal when they released the ps3 was to sell more then the PS2 then yes it was a failure using that metric. And I'm sure they did want to outsell it.

Likewise I'm sure the goal with the ps4 was to outsell the ps3 in Japan. Likewise I'm sure Nintendo would like the Switch to outsell the 3ds since it's replacing it and the Wii U.
