looks like the Switch is up 4.4m on the 3DS launch aligned, that's about 13.5%
to reach 100m in shipments it must outdo the 3DS by about 30% (assuming 3DS shipments stop at ~77m)

@ Europe vs Japan discussion

what's very notable is that they shipped 62.46m Switch software units in Europe (6.5 SW/HW ratio), while only shipping 39.05m software units in Japan (4.46 SW/HW ratio) - in terms of ratio Europe is on par/slightly ahead of the americas (6.37 SW/HW ratio)

Six months ago Switch was only 8% ahead of the 3DS. 18 months ago Switch was behind.

The 3DS's early price cut and revision bought the 3DS some time, but it still fell behind before Switch makes its first move of that kind.

If Switch hits 50m by the end of calendar year 2019 (15.26m shipped between April to December 2019, in line with the forecast of 18m for the full fiscal year), it will be 17% ahead of the 3DS.

Should Switch hit 65m by the end of calendar year 2020 (so shipments of 15m for the full calendar year, certainly not an optimistic expectation), it will be 29% ahead of the 3DS. It won't be a challenge to outdo the 3DS by 30% in lifetime sales.

So 98m+, where will those sales be regionally? I am really curious.
