Well, those numbers don't make sense.
30 million for Crisis Core might make sense, as that game has a September 2007 Japanese release date. But Crystal Bearers has no release date yet. In all liklihood it will debut significantly later than Crisis Core in all regions. For the Wii install base to be only 12 million, the game would have to come out before the holiday season this year. It isn't.
Most likely, the Wii install base will be over 20 million by the time the game comes out (Nintendo's goal through March 2008). That makes install base a non-issue, IMO.
I'd guess Crystal Bearers sells better. Handheld FF games haven't ever done amazingly, but they've done better on DS and GBA than PSP thus far. In fact, the original Crystal Chronicles is the only million-selling FF game on a lesser-selling console in the VGC database.
The games which should be mentioned are FFIV and Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate on DS, as those are guarenteed hits.
