Combining both versions, I definitely think it'll pull it off. MK8D is shipping 1 million copies every quarter, and that's going to be way up this quarter thanks to the holidays.

With ~10 million units to go & the legs it has, it can ship between 4-6 million units a year and can pull it off some time in 2021.

As for the Switch version, by itself. That's going to be a much tougher task. It needs to ship another ~18.3-18.5 million units to pull it off. That's going to be extremely difficult to accomplish, even for Mario Kart. I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach for that one.
