4 million may be pushing it, but if a separate PSP Tekken (which was essentially the same game as Tekken 5) can sell 2 million on a smaller userbase than PS360 with basically no advertising (and on a handheld with a TERRIBLE attach rate), I don't think it's terribly farfetched. I think it'll definitely reach at least 3 million.
SFIV isn't going to steal Tekken's userbase. If anything, Tekken 6 will prevent SFIV from having a holiday boost. Namco was smart to wait until fall. Not only are holiday sales always higher, but there aren't as many big games being released around that time. SFIV had the misfortune of being overshadowed by KZ2, Halo Wars, and RE5.
