That's why the first game sold like that on installed bases much bigger than ps4/x1 ever will have, oh wait.

4m+ is unlikely, but sequels often do better, so I think 3m wouldn't have been out of the question.
Install base isn't everything, but even then it could've been cross gen.

Installed base isn't everything but is a, important factor, especially with such a big difference. At most, it could sell about the same as the first game, 2 million on ps4 + xbox1, around 3 million if we add Wii U. The game couldn't be cross gen without completely different assets on ps360 versions, and remember ps3 barely handled the first game.

because it was outsourced. Otherwise it would've run just fine.
What you presented is no reason why it couldn't be cross gen. There are several more demanding games that are cross gen and of course they had to change some assets. Nobody demands them to be identical.
