Im not so sure about what you are thinking of now is the hardcore fans not about the mast potential consumer: the kids 

Kids will buy anything these days(with parents permission of course)and will play those games endlessly untill something else comes out and frankly SFIV is extremely popular even after a 3 mths from its release(maybe 6)

just advertise a commercial for kids and one for hardcore fans and you got a instant 12 million(and trust me people still bought these installments in the past if not then Capcom would not be like it is to this day)

I personally believe that SSFIV will sell well. In fact, some people who expected a sequel might also buy it, adding onto the numbers.

Okay, there's no point even arguing with you.  You can't even do the simple math to determine how many months SF4 has been out, and you think SSF4 could sell 12 million when SF4 didn't even sell 2 million.

Spreading misinformation with such confidence.  I don't know how you do it with a straight face.  2.7 million and counting.  Plus, he was clearly exaggerating the 12 million to emphasis his point.  I think you knew that.

Anyways, PS3 SF4 was in the top 100 best selling video game items on Amazon.com as recently as yesterday (it was #91).  We're talking about a 9 month old game here.  So, I'm not sure all those casuals are as "done" with SF4 as you think.  Recent price drop is only going to make the franchise more popular.

If the game stays at  or less, gets as much content as rumored, receives nice reviews, and has good online I think it could possibly reach 1.1 mil worldwide over time.

You guys are kidding yourselves if you think the casuals are even going to buy SuperSF4 in any great amount.  The casual crowd is already done with SF4.  They have their copy, their nostalgia has already been fed.  You think there's this secret legion of casual T.Hawk and Dee Jay fans that are going to jump on Super?  Much like how most casual fans never bought anything past the original SF2, it's going to be the same with SF4.  Super is only going to sell to hardcore SF fans, as is any version that comes after it.  And frankly, there's nothing for a fan casual or hardcore to complain about.  In updates for previous SF games, you were paying  for 3-4 more characters.  Now you're paying  for 10.  You're getting 3 times the content, for 2/3rd's the cost.

I know my friends are done with SF as well. So I agree with what you're saying except I always keep forgetting about the sticks/fight pads/Collectors Editions that they made money off as well.

I still hope SSFIV will do its best to continue interest.

I did my own test with my close friends, but they (just four of them) said they didn't care for more characters but two of them kinda wanted to come back for what the new story has to offer. Otherwise all of them just gave up on it.

sounds like a pretty good theory you got there except for the reason of why they don't like it, just think maybe it was because of the fighting system(no parrying) or maybe they did not have a lot of stages or even their favorite character, a lot of people would actually return a game for those reasons, then when a update comes out then the commercial could tell them all they want to hear: I am pretty sure that since this is street fighter many people won't return something like this. first plan does not work then second plan: make a short series to get people into buying the new one like 5 anime episodes and when they want to see those again just buy SSFIV(or show 3 then show the other 2 when released)
