6 million 3DS in 2017 seems very optimistic to me.

Many handheld gamers will go for a Switch instead, even if it is more expensive.

3DS next year will still have own place on market with $80-150 price point.

I quite honestly think 10m Switch sold is the best case scenario, but not the most likely one. I expect it to sell less.

If Nintendo's forecast is 10M, it will only fail to do so if Nintendo was massively stupid with their previsions. Normally companies are conservative so they can reach or exceed the forecast, failing to do so has a negative impact on shares. 

Actually it seem that this forecasted 10m is conservative forecast because they failed with their previous forecasts (but 3DS had better sales than they forecasted).
