It will be one of must have games on Switch, its defintive version, has huge content and great Battle Mode, it can be played in full portable mode, or even on split screen in portable mode or lan, it will have pretty good atach rate, and Nintendo will pushed it pretty hard (look link down), so MK8D can be around 5m only after one full year of Switch on market.

Remasters hardly ever sell more than the original (Can't think of any example sans Persona 4 Golden), so I doubt it will break 8 million like the original. No matter how much content it ports over, it's still a remaster, and people will rather wait for MK9 than getting a remaster/double-dipping to ever achieve such amount of numbers. 5m in one full year is extremely positive, and I find that impossible; rather, the LT sales of Deluxe, which fits into my prediction.

Just we having remaster of most popular Wii U game, system that sold only 13-14m, lotsa Switch owners (curent or future ) didnt had Wii U, and for them MK8D is great new game, and actually lots a Wii U owners will do double-dipping maybe because of full handheld play or new Battle Mode. We dont know if Switch will have MK9 at all, or if it will, when could be arive, so people who want MK will buy MK8D, they will not wait for MK9 when they dont know for sure if will arive on Switch at all or when exatly could arive.

5m is very positive, but not impossible, don't forget MK8 on Wii U has attach rate around 60%, you can bet that lotsa people thought that was impossible also. MK8D is in any case easily 5m+ seller on Switch.
