If we assume that manhours are similar between the SwSh and the past decade then anything over 10 million copies sold will undoubtedly be rendered irrelevant. With this, I can get back to the sample size of the survey. Using this tool
https://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm I was able to estimate that a sample of 9598 people is needed for scenario A and 9595 for scenario B. A decent sample size would probably be 100,000 or more just for the sake of accounting for trolls and indecisive people.
TL;DR Sword and Shield would have to sell significantly worse than Let's Go to be a "failure." As to what the actual number is to be a failure we simply can't know until Gamefreak releases the statistics of SwSh sales next year.
