You could be right, but it could also be true that the Switch is simply performing par for course with other Nintendo handhelds like the 3DS and GBA, since both of them reached 10 million in their 9th month also. It could well have 20+ mill years, but the chances of it sustaining past 100 million are low based on historical data. The DS had a different demographic, as did Wii.

That said, it's not impossible either. I'd just love to know exactly the demographic who would be buying them, because it's not the same people who took the DS to 154 million. The DS was the only console my mother ever owned, and she had 4 of them.
