It can be interpreted both ways, but one way is the more natural interpretation - in the context of sales, "11m, I doubt it" interprets to "I doubt it will reach 11 million". This is because it would need to pass 11 million in order to achieve a higher number, and so it would be at 11 million at some point along the way.
Kind of like how, if someone were to go "You've slept with 100 girls? I doubt it", the natural interpretation wouldn't be "I think you've slept with a lot more than that", but "I doubt it's anywhere near that high".
Either way, another person asserted that they expected Pokemon X/Y to sell just 5 million. Even if the wall of text wasn't useful in response to you, it was useful as part of the response to that person. So I don't feel that it's wasted. This post, on the other hand... :P
