The Health and Welness market is far bigger than the Games Market and 20 million orders is rather on the small side for that market. To put into perspective 20 million for the first in the game market it took the PS4 and the Wii over a year to achieve and those are consider adnormal. The sear size of the order points to this being in a different market and the only other thing we know about is the QoL platform.

It's a bigger market perhaps in some ways but next to the likes of say Nike, Nintendo is unproven and small potatoes. Given how conservative Nintendo is, I doubt they would make 20 million of anything without any indication from the market that they would like such a product. For every one break out health/fitness product there are 4-5 that flop. 

See my breakdown above for the Wii U and 3DS. If you combine their first year shipments, it basically comes out to about 20 million. So if NX is the fusion/multi-platform concept, then 20 million would basically be just in line with what the 3DS and Wii U did (albiet they didn't launch together). 

Without sales numbers for what Nike does it's kind of hard to compare.
