3DS has been out 6 years and sold around 65m

WiiU has been out 4.5 years and sold around 13m...

So you can't really say that, when the best selling has been out 6 not 5 years.

3ds average per year: 10.83m

WiiU Average per year: 2.88m

Combined average for 5 years: 68.55m

 

Or without using averages.

3DS first 5 years + WiiU till discontinued = 70m.

Please refer to the 1st sentence of the OP.  I was already taking that into account. 

Right... just because you admit to using 6 years data for 3ds not 5 years, doesn't explain why the target for Switch is 80m in 5 years, when 3ds+WiiU did not manage this (like you wrongly said in the post I originally quoted.)



So for instance 70m would be considerd for failure!? :D

Its doesnt work like that, you cant say 3DS+WiiU instal base to be considered for success, Nintendo can easily make more profit than they made with 3DS/Wii U with sold less Switch units than 3DS/WiiU combined.

I agree with some people in this thread that 50m+ would be success, but I wouldn't call even 40m failure. I any case, I expect that Switch will hit at least 3DS numbers of sales.

In my opinion 50m+ would definitely be a success, failure is a strong term, to me it'd have to sell less then 25-30m to be classed as such, not 80m.

Agree.

If it actually gets to 80m within 5 years I'd consider it a success because they increased their current install base. Now if they struggle to reach 50m, that would be a tragedy.

50 million would be low.

25 million is lower.

80 million in the past is not the same 80 million today (percentages).
