I don't think 2DS is happening in Japan period. People don't like cheap/budget handhelds there, they only made the 2DS for the Western market because the system isn't doing as well in the West and they were willing to make a model with a lower profit margin for the sake of the usberbase.
It hasn't worked out great here in the West either as 3DS sales are well below Nintendo's projections for the year.
I think you will get a 3DSi and 3DSi XL this year, probably in the fall, and that one will release in Japan first.
95 million would be great for the system as sadly I think a big chunk of that audience is gone now to phones.

I don't think people are actually considering the math when saying 100 million.
The 3DS, even if it has ZERO decline for the next 3 years straight (so 13 million/year) through the end of 2017 still wouldn't have enough for 100 million. That only gets you to about 92 million, and that's being *extremely* optimistic.
And its already showing signs of decline, tremendous decline in Japan where YTD sales this year are half of last year.
