It is hard to tell really. The Switch offers higher sales success for their games outside of the usual suspects than previous Nintendo devices. Zelda is a perfect example. Sales of a new game on a single device have never broken 10 mil before, let alone the numbers BotW is pumping out. It is safe to assume its sequel could put out somewhat similar numbers and anything with Mario in the title has an advantage out of the gate, but really any good game could blow up the way things are now. For example, while Animal Crossing has crossed 10 mil before, the sales of New Horizons is unprecedented and exponentially higher than its counterparts from previous generations.

So here is a truly wild prediction...Metroid Prime 4 (when it is finally done) will cross 10 mil in sales despite the IP never being a huge sales beast in the past. People are trying new types of games this gen and audiences are expanding. I feel the draw for this game will be much bigger than people realize, and you can bet the bank on Nintendo advertising the hell out of it.
