Well keep in mind the number of consoles moved at launch is not proportionately identical to the number of copies sold by any one launch title.  People buying at launch are investing, not buying on the merrits of the console as it stands cause let's just face it, consoles at launch are always lacking in a quantity of quality titles to play on them.  What a really strong launch and first year lineup  of exclusives does - like the Wii and Playstation 2 had - is instill confidence to invest.  It's a different period from any other in a console's lifespan.

Indeed.  Zelda by itself may not be enough to move those 10m NXs so quickly, but a strong launch all around would be strengthened immensely with BOTW at the forefront.
