Series was at 17m in 2018, and the only release in the Layton series since then was Switch port of Layton's Mystery Journey, so that seems to suggest Layton's Mystery Journey sold fairly well on Switch, because I doubt all that many people bought the older DS and 3DS games over the last 4.5 years.
Edit: Actually I am mistaken, a few of the games in the series have gotten iOS and Android ports since the 17m number was given in 2018.
The mobile versions probably are the bulk of this additional million.
Take that, TinTin!
