While I understand your thinking, and I'd have actually agreed with you at one point. But that was before I saw the 7.6 million sales for Horizon. I see no reason at all that GoW couldn't outsell Horizon. It's a more iconic IP, it reviewed substantially better, and It currently has more preorders than Uncharted 4 according to NPD insiders.
What a franchise sells on PS3 is absolutely no indication of what it will do on PS4. A 4 million+ seller on PS3 was a megaton, reserved for GoW, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, MGS4, where as Bloodborne will even manage to do that on PS4, and that's a souls game.
Given that a first party game on PS4 is critically acclaimed and has good marketing, it should do about twice the numbers of a game in the same franchise on PS3.

I think 8m for God of War because GoW seems more like most sales are from North America while Horizon did really good WW and in NA.

But that’s the thing—GoW’s new direction has given it WORLDWIDE appeal. GoW has been number one on every single major country’s Amazon (except UK and Canada bc it’s sold out) starting around 8 days from release. And that even includes Japan, where American games almost always flop.
