I'm still not buying completely that the Switch is the next Wii in terms of sales... it's definitely selling great and will be a success, but there's some potential bumps in it's future. One that worries me a little is that the hardware gap will continue to grow, though a midgen refresh for the Switch may help with that.
Otherwise, the 3DS is still selling, bringing out new models and designs, and continue to announce more games for it. It also still serves as their lower entry cost handheld, so they probably won't drop it in the immediate future.
With that in mind, and considering that it took four years for the hugely successful PS4 to get into the 60's (millions), I think it might catch it some time in 2022. I'd love to see it overtake the 3ds sooner tho, as it'd be great if the Switch continued to be a gigantic success.

"I am worried about Switch sales in the long term due to processing power."
"3DS is still going strong in 2017 with less than GameCube processing power and a 240p screen."

Those are two very different markets. The attraction of the more expensive option is that it can play console quality games and (hopefully) continue to receive 3rd party ports of contemporary AAA titles. There are no such expectations for the 3DS, with its library being tailor made specifically for the 3DS itself.
