I didn't say both games will sell 4 millions. All I wanted to say is their forecast mean anything in shipment. They can only ship as many as shops order. They should know how many copies are already order and could guess how many orders come in till release. Either the order suggest 4 Million copies sold, or they think it is to less, throwing out such a bummer, to get the shops to order more (and give it more space). If anything the news says: Sega thinks it will be a big hit and they will most likely back that game up as much as they can. How much it will be? 4 Million seems low to me, if the game is good done (controls). It will have a good release week. After all Mario and Sonic fans will buy it. How good it does after the first week? Depends how good mouth to mouth is. If it is good, it will have decent legs. If it is bad, it will most likely be of the radar quickly.
