I think they can sell 2-3 million lifetime in japan alone. And like 2 millions rof. 5 Million units is not unrealistic, streamings, youtube etc will help make the game that popular it deserves to be and of course the PS4 as a Platform will help also.

1.5 - 2 million is what the COMG numbers are hinting at in Japan. 3 million in Japan isn't happening. Monster Hunter, even with the QoL updates, still has some pretty niche game-play focused on grinding and slowish combat. I just don't see it as something that will go mainstream in the West, no matter how much advertising there is. 

Here in Germany there is a launch event on youtube from the Rocket Beans

The ratings are also very crucial
