I don't think it'll be too difficult to get there based on current trajectory. It'll be over 50m by the end of this year. If it continues with a typical console life of growth in the first few years and then slow decline, it'll get there no problem. Their strategy should be to continue releasing good games from their most popular IPs, more experimental stuff like RingFit, and increasing partnerships with 3rd parties. There will be more competition in a year due to next gen consoles, but by then Switch will already have done most of the legwork in being an established brand.
Broadening the "Switch family" is always a back-pocket option too.
Don't think they really gain anything with price cuts. Hardware revisions are the new price drops. They don't need to drop the price of the base Switch now or ever, really, since they just introduced a new model that shaves a meaty $100 off the ticket price.
