FF XII sold 2.42 million in Japan on a userbase of around 20 million. Just to put things in perspective. I think when all is said and done there are going to be a lot of disappointed people in this thread.

 

And yet FFX Sold 3.02 Million in Japan alone on a far smaller userbase ( about 4-5 Million IIRC)

 

Given SE's current trend of releasing sequels and spinoffs for quick cash-ins I see very little indication of FF XIII being a return to form quality-wise.  It's not even out yet but already has two spinoff s of its own. 

As for FF X's sales, PS3 won't be anywhere near even 4 million in Japan when XIII releases.  I'm going to go out on a limb and predict max lifetime sales of 2 million for FFXIII in Japan.  If it were on the Wii then the sky's the limit, but it's not.

Yes, there are two spinoffs already, but are they not being developed by completely different teams and in no way affecting the development of one another? I really am unsure. I know Vs and XIII are, but not Agito.

I also think userbase will have little bearing on how much this game will sell in Japan. The game will undobtedly be a system seller there.

@OP As for the bet, I don't know. I'd likely side with Dolla Dolla but I think you certainly have a chance of winning.
