I don't think 1.5-2 mil would be a bomb for that game and I really don't think that Sony expects that game to sell huge numbers, they have a general idea what Souls games sell, expecting a huge growth in numbers now would be silly of them. Bloodborne should work out well for Sony and From Software.

(According to VGChartz) Dark Souls 2 sold 1.67 (PS3 = 1.14  X360 = 0.53) on an install base of approximately 160 million consoles. On a install base of about 30 million (PS4/X1) that would equal about 300,000. Dark Souls sold almost 3 millions on PS3/X360 making the equivalent of 600,000 on PS4/X1.

That's not how it works, sales do not necessarily grow exponentially with installbase, if that was the case then we wouldn't be seeing every crossgen selling way more on PS4 than on last gen.
