That projection seems to be based around the difference in Japanese handheld vs. console sale curves (i.e. the Switch would cap out at ~12m in japan). Then that's applied to the global market. The reality though is, that unlike in japan, consoles do significantly better in the west compared to handhelds. In general that just means that in japan, you can expect signficantly more sales as if it were treated as a console.
Personally i still find predicting Switch sales difficult. It being sold out everywhere (due to supply limits), might have had a non neglectable effect on sales. (yes, human minds are that simple). What's important are the sells now that it's available more consistently. (that's for US and Japan). In the EU, the Switch is doing mediocre at best, likely due to absurd pricing (more expensive than a PS4 in all countries, and in nording countries more expensive than a PS4 PRO).
