I wonder how will be the sales number after 15m, coz I'm assuming right now the only people buying Switch would be former Wii U owners, the die hard nintendo fans who were like waiting for 2 gens to get a really good consoles from Nintendo and of course scalpers.

This fall will be interesting considering big third party heavy hitters are coming which will not be on Nintendo Switch.. IMO The only way Nintendo could compete is with pokemon.. coz people who are mario fans has already bought the switch.

Why would former Wii U owners be the only ones buying Switch so far, when its only big games to date, Zelda and MK8, are available on Wii U?

Nintendo doesn't need the likes of COD, Battlefield, Destiny, etc to succeed. Wii, DS, and 3DS didn't have those games but still sold well.
