The biggest reason this is very unlikely to happen at this point is the Switch post Switch 2 is selling worse than the DS did post 3DS so far when it needs to be doing better. The DS was at 151.52m shipped by the end of March 2012 and only shipped another 2.5m after that so assuming the Switch is at 156-156.5m by the end of March next year it has to suddenly go from doing worse to doing significantly better than the DS post successor to reach 160m.

That happening isn't impossible since Nintendo could do the surprising move of releasing a final revision next year but with them clearly not showing interest in continuing to push Switch 1 hardware sales I really doubt that'll happen and it wouldn't release till April at the earliest so it's questionable if it would even help enough to make it possible. Either way things need to change fast or else the Switch getting to 160m will become impossible soon.
