Don't discredit him because of his silly comments on games. That's a hobby to him, not his actual job.
humble bundle and heavy steam sales discounts are the only measures to reach this.
I don't get why people keep saying Battlefront, Blops 3, etc.
Ubi said lifetime sales, not just release window or even fiscal year.
Of course it has a decent chance of 7 million over 3-4 years with the right support, DLC, and discount promotions, right?
Ubisoft say they expect to Rainbow Six Siege to sell better than Far Cry 4 which sold 7 million units.
It's multiplayer only and next gen only. No way.
It doesn't have a campaign?!

Right. But the LTD sales for Vegas and Vegas 2 are only like 2m-3m units (individually). Going from ~2m to +7m is essentially guaranteeing failure and disappointment.
For reference, +7m sales for Siege would be about 1/4 of the total LTD sales (~26m) for all Rainbox Six games combined.
Rainbow six million sales below expectations.
It has something but I haven't seen whatever it is described as a campaign, or really anything for that matter.It doesn't have a campaign?!
Dem shooters be selling billions cuz....
So EA is expecting to sell millions upon millions with Battlefront. Ubisoft is expecting to sell millions upon millions with Rainbow Six. Activision is expecting to sell millions upon millions (guaranteed) with COD:Black Ops....
I am not sure gamers will be shelling as much for 3 shooters this holiday season - ON TOP of AC:Syndicate, Halo 5 on Xbox One - which will eat some of those third party sales - among some unannounced AAA titles.
Hec, the idea of stacking exclusives for the holidays for platform holders seems sillier and sillier by the day. Just one big hitter should suffice.
I'll be buying most of them
What makes you think that? There will be more than just this mode we've seen.
