2 million is high end. Previous titles opened between 1.3M (World) and 1.9M (Freedom 3). Two million is possible, but it would be definitely a great opening. Only 1M on the other hand would be disappointing.

But the Switch is far more popular than almost all consoles(In japan), and especially compared to the PS4. Plus, by the time MH launches, the Switch will be at what, almost 20 million consoles sold there?

So I personally don't think 2 million first week is the absolute most optimistic sales the game can get. I personally think it's just pretty much what is expected the game to do.

MonHun is a game people buy a console for, at nleast in japan. Bigger hardware base is never bad, but I doubt it really limited previous entries. The changes  made to the formula look enticing though, that may draw in new customers. But MonHun is hit or miss. And I highly doubt that in Japan someone who might like the series was never exposed to it before. So I think MonHun already showed it's potential customer base before. The West is a different thing.
