In your opinion - what minimum lifetime sales total for the Switch 2 would constitute labeling it a success? And what maximum lifetime sales total would you consider it to be labeled a failure?

I believe it will do fine, but not as high as original switch. I thinking it do good enough between 75 millions to 117 millions. For a failure it be less then 20 millions.
I think the switch is an anomaly. just as it got underway: covid. PS5 couldn't ship. and XBox wasn't inspiring anyone. so half the number of the switch itself... ~60 million. sounds about right to judge success.
If it sells as well as the Switch I would be very surprised, simply because some people won't be able to upgrade. So I don't think even Nintendo is aiming for that.
I reckon I'd consider it a success if it sold anywhere between the GameCube and the Wii (a big scale I know lol)
What about you?
From half to 2/3s of the Switch in sales I’d call a success, which would be more than the 3DS sold. Anything less is a massive drop off in console sales, and I don’t think they’ll support cross gen releases for new games as long as Sony did.

Failure 30 million
120+m would make it a top 5 console, hard to see as not objectively huge even if not their best.
Sub-70m would be another 3DS/WiiU era mess requiring another big change in strategy.
failure? IDK

Success is reaching the 3DS's number
Failure is not even passing the Wii-U's (almost no chance that would happen realistically)
• At 60 mil and above I’d say it’s a success.
• At 30 mil and below I’d say it’s a sales failure.
Anywhere in that 31-59 mil total I see as in the grey area where it’s up to interpretation and other financial details.
