The Switch isn't going to sell like the PS4 unless it manages to capture a wider audience like the DS and Wii did. The meat and potatoes of the gaming audience is covered by the PS4 and X1 (PS4 having the significant slice of the pie), this is why the PS4 is selling like it is. Nintendo lost that market after the SNES.
It seems the core audience that buys 12 million Marios and 15 million Pokemons are mostly within the first 30 million console purchases. That's why Mario 64 sold similar to Mario Galaxy on a console that sold 1/3 the amount of the Wii. So I doubt Nintendos staples are going to take the Switch leaps and bounds above the 3DS solely based on Mario/Smash/Zelda/Pokemon. It's likely other things like positive mindshare and novelty factor that will take it above the 3DS into more around GBA territory (80-85 million).
So yeah, I think 130 million PS4's is feasible, it's actually worth taking into consideration. 74 million by January 2018, another 18-20 million that year taking it to 92-94 million by 2019. For all we know 2018 might be the peak year and it could do 22 million+.
