From the interviewer "It is likely that Reggie is referring to North American sales alone", presumably that was what it seemed in context, especially since Metroid regularly reaches 1.5 million worldwide.

Please there's no way he expected it to do that much in NA alone, if it will be the most underperfoming game of the gentat

That's just the author's translation of the video interview.  When I actually watched it I had a diffrent view of the interview starting at 2:55 this is said: “Metroid is a key franchise, and in our view really since the SNES Metroid, we haven’t broken through in terms of 1.5 - 2 millions units. That’s our bar. That’s the scale that we look at to say on a global basis this is effective.”

 

To me that means that number is the goal Nintendo hopes to achieve to expand Metroid franchise in the future.  Either with this game or the next Metroid; however it is only the goal to EXPAND the franchise as it has not broken that number since the SNES days which is the era of Nintendo's summit of success !!!

Oh yes it did break the 2 million barrier. Ask Metroid Prime.
