I think this game in general fares better as handheld game than as a full blown Console game. Which is kind of what we expect from Switch nowadays. I could be wrong though.

From all the people I know who want a Switch I heard Zelda, Smash, Mario Kart, Mario Oddesey, Pokemon and even Metroid (before both where announced) as main reasons to buy a Switch. Yet I never heard animal crossing as main reason. Perhaps Japan will love animal crossing to death.

As I said I could be wrong but I simply can't see the hype for a new animal crossing outside of fora like these. Anyway my estimate is somewhere between 17.5 and 18.5 million, pretty much equal to Playstation 4 sales which I estimate somewhere between 18.5 million and 19.5 million.

Yes Animal Crossing performs much better on handhelds, good thing Switch acts as a handheld

Well were the people you know hyped for Animal Crossing on DS or 3DS? AC is huge in Japan and in the West it is primarily played by kids & females. So im not sure if your friends are a good indication of how well a new one would do.

 

Overall i agree, i think Switch will do ~18 million.

My friends are probably not a good indication. As I said I could be wrong. Time will tell. as for this moment the Switch is on track to sell 18 million units to customers. Not too shabby although I sincerely doubt animal crossing could push that number over 20 million units. The only game that can pull that of is probably Pokemon.
