Was the Switch Nintendo Shooting for the Fences or did They Know that it Would be a Huge Success Prior to Launch?

I think they were pretty confident it's going to be a successful system (somewhere on par with the 3DS), as they clearly designed it with everyone in mind, but I don't think they knew that it's going to be that huge. Apart from the most optimistic optimists, no one was betting on 100M+ figures.
