I do not think it can make it to 70 million. This holiday (which I do not think will get it to 65 million) will be its last strong season especially with Nintendo's history of pulling support extremely fast

Actually handhelds they support for some time (Developers and Nintendo) after the successor device is out. For example Pokemon for the DS launched around the same time after the 3DS came out. GBA still did well after the release of DS. 

And here the 3DS will be the only game seller for quite some time.

Nintendo can't afford just to sell a few games on a launching switch.
