It does look like this, but if you sum all view counts for the top 993 most visited articles ( https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/top/nl.wikipedia.org/all-access/2016/02/01), it adds up to 1.203.816. Also, nl.wikipedia.org has more than 1 million articles, I think the rest of articles not mentioned in the top would raise that count far above the 1.500.000. We should also consider that the majority of wikipedia visitors do 1-article-only lookups. So, I think 1.635.478 of unique devices makes sense.
