How many million sellers will the Switch have after a year?

Hope I'm wrong but since for now it looks like Nintendo is only one who's gonna do the the heavy lifting my answer is a generous one or two.

I mean. We don't even know what they next year, ir even this year other than Mario Odyssey.

Well, Nintendo is bringing in a single year games that, in the past, were the main game for that year. A Zelda, a Mario Kart and a 3D Mario (plus Splatoon, but that is still too young). So at least those have to sell a million minimum. Most 3rd parties are "waiting", which translates to "I don't want to risk porting my game over there before the platform sells enough". Considering the WiiU, I can't blame them that much, but it's also a vicious cycle, because they don't help create that userbase. Nintendo has to be the one doing it during first year, or at least until A-AA japanese devs start bringing enough games to fill the gaps, and the rest might follows suit.

I still have no idea what Nintendo is planing for the future. Maybe they don't know either, but I feel like 3rd parties are coming when their console become super successful.
