People are confusing "amazing game" with "amazing sales". There's no reason to think that this game will be able to make 4 million in sales on the 360.
KOTOR was done by the same developer, had rave reviews, very similar gameplay and had the power of the Star Wars name behind it...it did less than 2 million on the original X-Box. Elder Scrolls Oblivion was widely considered the Game of the Year when released...it has sold barely over 2 million on the 360 (numbers from VGChartz, close enough for this point).
Why on Earth do people think this game will do better than these games? I think 1.5 million is a better estimate and this game will be lucky to hit it. I'm sure it's a fantastic game (it's on my future 360 wishlist), but it's not going to outsell nearly every title on the 360 (right now only Gears and Halo 3 have sold more than this prediction).

Highly overpriced and due for a big drop.
