I could see it selling 4-7 million(and not pass 500k on xbox one sadly)
but not 10 million
thats where fifa and cod will hang out

If FFXIII can do over 5 million FFXV shouldn't have a problem.

First, we don't know if XV will actually be good. besides, XIII has the past FF hype going for it, XV doesn't.

XV has far more hype going for it. Revisionist history has already forgotten about all of the bad press FF13 received before its release.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Even X on PS2 didn't manage that. Back in that era the genre was much more popular and X was exclusive. FF fanbase didn't expand after the franchise have gone multiplatform.
6.5M on PS4 is more like it. 1.5M on the One.



No way its gonna be that high, I think the game will be amazing but its not gonna high those numbers.  I'm thinking 6-7m on PS4.



There's no way it'll hit 10M on the PS4, but I do expect a very large disparity in sales between the PS4 and X1 versions.

Fake, even Skyrim didn't reach 10 mln on a single console. And it cames 6 years after the realese of consoles. My thougt: 5M PS4, 2,8 M XBONE, 200k PC (if it happens).



i wanna belive such a thing can happen



10 million is too high. It may well turn out to be one of the best JRPGs of recent times, but that doesn't change the fact that JRPG are pretty niche at this point. Too many kiddies aren't interested in anything outside of the usual COD, GTA, FIFA, AC etc. It will do well though, you'd think over its lifespan it could (and should) hit 5 million sales.



PREDICTIONS FOR END OF 2015: (Made Jan 1st 2015)

PS4 - 34M - XB1 - 21m - WII U -12M

10 million sold on PS4 alone? NO
If the game is well received it will sell about 7 million but I highly doubt it since people are genuinely fed up with Square Enix.

Revive the genre? Maybe.
This game alone will put a spark in it but it will take a lot more than that to revive the genre, especially with Japans slow and low budget gaming industry.
