I think it might if the stock is there. I don't think the launch month will significantly impact its first month sales. I would doubt, however, that it would do the 850k or 900k the ps4 and One did the following month, as that was December. The first month, though, should still be open season for people who want the product. 

I think it could do 600k. The PS4/XB1 launched during the holidays so it makes sense they had big launches, also they had more AAA games and well known IPs at launch compared to the Switch.

Yeah, I really have no idea about the stock situation, though it sounds like they sold more than Wii did on opening weekend, which I think was something above 400k. Since it came out so early in the month, though, I'll expect that they were able to get a few hundred more thousand in, so I'm thinking probably 750k or more. I could be wrong, though, as there really hasn't been any indications of stock except for Nintendo's intended shipment of 2 million (though WSJ thought they might have bumped that up to 2.5 million).
