Just a heads up, the Wii U and the 3DS COMBINED have done less than 80 million, and the 3DS has been on the market for almost 6 years. What makes you think that the Switch will go above and beyond that?

How are 3DS & Wii U sales relevant to Switch sales?

They're not, but they're relevant to Nintendo as a whole. Historically, Nintendo platforms sell less than their previous generations (with the anomalous exception of Gen 6), so it's not outside of the realm of reasonable predictions to believe it won't hit 80m or more.

 

That said, it's very difficult to get a hold of right now and has great sales numbers. I feel the next few months will be crucial to whether or not the novelty of the Switch sticks, and should it do so, 100m is definitely a reasonable predictions.
