You dont know about how much percent we talking about, remember this 90% increase without digital sales. For the record, Switch sold 8.15m software units in hole Q1 of last year with games like Zelda BotW and MK8D released in March and April, and in 13 moths sold 69m software. With much higher install base and much more games releasing, it will not have problem reaching 100m.
Yes it did, 16.4m for January-March period.
Tell us what exactly software give boost of 90% now in May in US compared to last year without digital sales?
From some reason you dont count higher install base, large numbers of games and increasing attach rate with every month. Fact is that Switch games are selling great and that's without new heavy hitters.
Actually with Switch they underestimated every their projection until now, and then increased projection almost every quarter. Switch is selling very well (on pair with second PS4 year in US) and I really don't see why Switch needs to sell more than PS4 currently to meet their goal.

ps4 in 2015 from jan-may was its worst year ever, and ps4 would still by up by 45k, if each console had the same time frame since switch got a extra which =50k.
now aside from that nintendo own data shows that americas is a much stronger region then europe and ROTW, while sony NA is much weaker so do the math, really nintendo has to destroy ps4 in NA to have a chance of hitting 20 million.

With point that Switch this year had weak lineup until May and that didnt had any big game, we could expect that this 1st half of year also be one weakest 1st half of year for Switch. One week and 50k dont relly change nothing.
How PS4 is performing don't have anything with Nintendo's goal for 20m Switch units, its obvious that Nintendo expecting strongest sales at end of year when Pokemon and Smash Bros arive.
