The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch (EDIT: See mod note in first post for new rule).

So entering the Indonesia market is definitely great news in terms of trying to exceed 160M. Not only for the Indonesia market itself, but it indicates that Nintendo isn't ready to phase out the Switch 1 as soon as we think just yet, and it could indicate a more long term plan to market the Switch 1 in other uncharted territories and market it as a budget console for those countries. This also points towards the idea that the rumored India rollout of Switch 1 may happen as well in the future, which could be big.

Now in terms of how much this can push the Switch 1 to 160M. When taking a look at Indonesia's population of 288 Million, that is a huge market and just in terms of population alone it's close to the U.S in size. So even a small portion of this market would be enough to outsell 160M.

Now that's just by looking at population numbers, in terms of how realistic it is to capture that market it's likely not going to be very easy. Most people settle for free to play mobile games or PC games mainly cause most people can't economically afford a game console and games. To put into perspective how consoles do there. PS per generation is by far the most dominant platform in the country accounting for 76% of the consoles market share in the country, but even then most estimates put each PS generation selling only around the few hundred thousand units and not cracking a million. Mainly the price is the biggest issue and we'll see if Nintendo can price it correctly and maybe a free pack in game makes the deal more enticing especially with how expensive console games are over there. But most likely scenario it will likely sell maybe in the low 100-500k units, which is still pretty big when the gap is only 3.5 Million to PS2.
