At this point it's almost irrelevant whether the Switch sells 160 mil or not. The Switch is already the most successful console ever and it has never had a price cut.

Having said that, I still think 160 mil is very much doable depending on how long Nintendo "delays" the successor.

What metrics are you using for your claim that "The switch is already the most successful console ever" if you measure it by sales it's still the PS2 and if you measure it as software sold again the PS2, tie ratio again PS2, now this isn't to say that the Switch won't or can't claim the title of most consoles sales but at the moment your claim that it is even now the most successful console ever is dubious.

Probably in terms of profitability. Switch has never had a significant cut, not much bundling, most first party games are sold at full price, digital sales didn't exist for ps2, dlc, online subscription, digital only games are not counted towards overall software sales so software sales are likely significantly higher on switch than we can see. Also ps2 was sold at a loss st launch.
