For now, I'll go with 60-80 million.

I think the Switch, if they were to stick to the same model, and just dropping the price (Very few and far between, I'd imagine since it's Nintendo) and just come out with the usual Nintendo support for BOTH home console and handheld (This thing is getting both its own mainline Animal Crossing and Pokemon Gen 8 sooner or later. Those two games alone are going to make the Switch explode. Three if Capcom hops on board and makes Monster Hunter 5 Switch exclusive.) than 60 million will be the amount it sells.

But, if we add hardware revisions that lead to more flexible price tags and options for consumers (like all other Nintendo handhelds), than I could easily vision the Switch doing 70-75 million and outselling the 3DS.

Plus, Sony making a new handheld seems highly unlikely to say the least, so when it comes to Japan and the dedicated handheld market, sooner or later, it'll be Switch or bust: For both the developers and the consumers. So, it's also possible that some Vita customers jump ship and get the Switch, which could bring the system to 80 million, where it could very well outsell the Game Boy Advance and PSP, and maybe even have a shot at reaching the 360 and PS3.

As far as 100 million or more goes. They'd have to do everything right in order to have a shot.

The sky's the limit when it comes to the Switch. It's a really great idea and concept. It's just a matter of execution and keeping up the momentum.
