The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

Coming back to reaffirm 160 is still very achievable but Switch 2's success and tariffs from the US government make it harder than it might have been.
165 million is looking unlikely due to the factors I mentioned. Nintendo seems more than content to phase out Switch hardware more than some of their other previous successful platforms and move on to Switch 2. Switch has a massive install base already present that will keep buying games even if they take a while to move on to Switch 2. And of course, some never will.
If you need more evidence for Nintendo's philosophy besides the naming convention, switch 2 uses the same OS as Switch (but different firmware, like Xbox One vs. Xbox Series X/S).
160 million should happen in 2026 or 2027.

Can you put together like a roadmap or something for me to show how switch can reach 160 in 2026
