lol no, Bloodborne will reach 2 million if not 3 million if the game is not bad. The Order will do a million very easily! How much more it can do is dependant on how it reviews, as we´re not sure it´s a good game so far.

Ehh, 2-3 million would put it well past even the sales of the original Demon's Souls. That's close to 2x what Demon's Souls sold if we're going for 3 million, and close to 3x what Dark Souls I/II sold on the Playstation brand (and it will be a hell of an accomplishment for Bloodsouls to be better than Demon or Dark Souls, particularly the masterful latter). I don't know why you'd expect such a thing on a considerably smaller install base, one that was fractured by the Dark Souls I/II multiplatform release, and for a series that has been dipping in total sales overall.

I am sure Miyazaki's name being attahced to this will bring it a lot more hype and hope for being better than Dark Souls II (particularly for the more dedicated fans of the series, like myself, who were disappointed with Dark Souls II). But I don't expect it to suddenly have these huge sales numbers out of nowhere. I'd expect numbers akin to Demon's Souls, 1.5-2 million tops.

Order has way too much bad press surrounding it to get to a million "easily". People will be warry.

You forget the fact Souls fanbase increase by a huge amount thanks to multiplatform games. And the fact PS4 is much more popular than PS3.  And the fact Bloodborne has a very good marketing, while Demon's Souls has only word of mouth.

There is no reason to think Bloodborne will only do as much as Demon's Souls, it will more than likely outsell Demon's Souls by one million
