But other FF games have done pretty bad on PC. If it comes to PC I can't see it selling more than 800k.

But all of them are very late ports, with the exception of FF14, which is a subscription based MMO and therefore can't really be compared with 15. FF8 port was 14 years late, FF13 was 4 years late, etc. When a port doesn't come to PC within a year or 2, most PC gamers just give up and buy the game on whatever console they own. I think 1m for FFXV is guaranteed if it releases within a year and a half and is a well optimized port, and assuming Square Enix puts it into Steam Sales fairly often even higher sales might be possible. 

Like this guy said, the ports are very late and emulators/roms are available.  You can't emulate FFXV.

I still feel it's too low for the XONE. A game like this never does under one million in anything...

Obama got a record number of votes in 2008 because of his promise of change. Trump won under the promise of shaking up Washington. It's not hard to tell what brings the voters in.

Democrats have since lost the plot, and instead of choosing to implement progressive change, they now get to sit and watch for the next 4 years as the Republicans have free reign to implement alt-right change. Change was bound to happen sooner or later, it was just a matter of who was willing to implement it first. That being said, the Democrats now have to rid themselves of this impression among voters as being ones who are willing to bow to Wall Street and start to listen to the working class, and talk about change, but actually follow through with it....

After seeing the MGSV and Dark Souls 3 sales comparing PS4 and X1.....  Let's face facts.  That game does not fall into the Xbox appeal.  Xbox One on average sells the least 3rd party games based on all 3 platforms unless it's a shooter or published by M$.  

 

Edit: I don't know if you were responding to my prediction

A lot of games seem to disagree with the notion, and this isn't Dark Souls II or MGSV (and MGS seems to have been declining on the Xbox since the 360 days). This is a mainline Final Fantasy game.
