You people actually think it'll sell 1 - 1.5M ? Witcher 2, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Fallout: NV - none of them sold 1M full price on PC and you think Eternity will ?
At lets say 30$ price point its 20$ per unit profit, but there will have to be some marketing budget too, so it needs ~250k full price sales to secure another 4M for a sequel.
It can eventually reach 1M units sold and make another 4M within 2 years after many heavy discount sales.
With the first 4M and recycling of assets and systems they can make BG1 -> BG2 / F1 -> F2 kind of sequel and the second 4M from discount sales wouuld be a bonus profit to make it more worthwile than publishers projects.
This is imo the best case scenario, it can also sell less and not be sustainable too, hard to predict, but I'll be surprised if it'll do better than this speculation.
