At this rate... probably FFXIIIv, but FFXIII also has some chances, it depends on release date. =)

There will be atleast 4 mln. PS3 sold by release of FFXIII, maybe even 5 mln. in Japan. =)

 

XIII is gonna own Verses in sales, no question.

Anyway, VIII deserves the top spot, imo.

   I think VIII was just kind of riding the coat tails of VII to the top.  VII was almost certainly the best FF, so after that it created a lot of excitement for VIII (and the PS user base was even bigger thanks in large part to VII).  FF VII was the one that deserves the top spot since it was the best by far.  Hopefully it will get a next gen remake and can claim its rightful place at the top of Japan gaming.

   Sadly FFVIII is one of the few I didn't finish.  I just couldn't get past that main character Squall, he was just awful.  "I'm a lone wolf, I can't need anyone" blah blah....Tidus is more my kind of hero, extroverted and fun not boring and brooding.  There was a serious lack of fun in 8, I think thats why I didn't like it.  There was cait Sith, Cid and all the rest in 7, a lot of great characters in 10...but 8 just kind of sat there like a lump of morbidness even past disk 3 (when I stopped playing).

   I just hope they don't crap out and make the FFVII remake a PSP game, it needs to be a quality console title to get the sales.
