Nothing wrong with a modest success, Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus sold in that range and those are very popular 3DS games. I'll be pretty surprised if STEAM manages to sell a million, but it could.

I think you lowballed it with October a bit. Last October it sold over 1.6 million; this year it will probably be down in NA and Europe, but up in Japan thanks to MH4G and the N3DS. Not up enough to match last year's sales, but I don't quite expect a 50% drop.
On the other hand, I think your predictions for November and December are a bit high. It's possible November could match last year thanks to Pokemon, but you have December higher than last year, which I find unlikely. In the end, I think it will be cutting it pretty close to 10 million for the year.
