I think famitsu were jusr estimating it can sell 2m in future 

Check out my post above in regards to the paragraph where Famitsu mentioned 2M including downloads. I can't see any future tense in that sentence, but I'll ask a friend who's Japanese is better than mine to double check.
But I think them speculating about it possibly reaching 2m in the future in the same paragraph (especially when other MH games have gone on to sell nearly 5m units in Japan) where they're talking about numbers it has already reached, would seem out of place.

They're giving out an early estimation. All of the data isn't in so it's not official. It's like the old reported first day sales or first day sellthrough. They were estimates based on early information. If I'm wrong and Famitsu puts out ~650k digital sales for January, I'll be pumped. That'd be an amazing result, but I don't think that's the case. Especially because we already know that FW sales were 2m shipped + digital in Japan.
