Breaking 5 million is a tall order, but it's possible, especially since it's a multiplat. That said, I don't think it will get that high. 2-3 million is my estimate.

How is 2 million even possible?? rofl
Please breakdown by region and console to explain.
I would say 4 million... might get a proper hype outside japan... im looking at you europe... but yeah on the go for mh in japan is kinda big deal apparently according to my cousin

It will be near 2M in Japan alone.

I don't think I need to make too much of an essay of it, lol, but I looked at the series sales history and 2-3m is the average. It rarely breaks a million in any region but Japan. The vast majority of sales will come from Japan where the PS4 isn't doing as well (though it will boom for a bit with the release of World, the sales potential there is currently much lower than on 3DS) and Xbox One is non-existent. Console MH games have never sold as well, even in Japan, though this could buck the trend. The PC port isn't a factor until much later, since it was delayed.
If it's ever ported to the Switch (which I think is more plausible than it first seemed given recent comments from Capcom) it'll blow past that. Otherwise, I'm not so sure... it definitely has a shot but I don't imagine the Xbox community will be too helpful.
8 million is a lot of games for any franchise; it would be fun to see this really catch on in the west with console owners, but I'm personally just going to wait until either a Switch port or the next Switch MH title as it just feels like a great portable franchise to me.

45% of the polled are predicting over 5 million sales, considering only one Monster Hunter game has sold more than that, I don't see how it is pessimistic.
Probably, on a sales website you're going to have people extrapolate sales based on prior data, rather than speculation.
