Can someone explain why people thought that Playstation All-Stars would sell millions of copies?

As of now, it is under 400K sold total across all platforms it is on:

Two versions, 450k combined atm.  Not under 400k.

 

And only a few people made absurd predictions about it selling absolute millions.  A lot of people predicted 1-1.5 million LT, myself included, which is a prediction I stick by.

this is not true, if you go back in gilgamesh thread you will see the majority expected 2mill+ easily and many predicted numbers higher than 4mill, I myself predicted 900k if I remember correctly
