No portable Monster Hunter has shown legs anything close to that poor.

I'm not sure what you mean, that's about exactly the kind of legs Monster Hunter has shown, about twice the initial sales.
With 1 Million at launch is being extremely optimistic since we're talking an "at launch" type situation.
In general if you look at launch type games, you find they have a great attach rate early on, then tend to peak at a million, million and a half, even with known quantitites.
Console bases are diverse, even among unpopular systems. Meaning that beyond launch, where they are so starved for good games people are willing to branch out, you need to have at least 4-5 times the base for sales.
In otherwords, to hit that 2 million range your going to need ATLEAST 8 to 10 million consoles sold, bare minium on a great day.
I mean hell, Call of Duty 2 at it's best did 1.87 Million lifetime on the 360.
While not at current megalevels now, Call of Duty 2 is still plenty popular compaired Monster Hunter. Then you look at COD3 on Playstation 3... and that did even worse.
