500-600k in Japan, in America it will get 200K. World wide it will reach 1 to 1.5 mil.

 

You think WKC will sell 800k units in Europe? That's about the amount FF XII sold here.

 

OT: No. Only FF XIII and GT5 have a shot at selling 1 million in Japan.

 

No. That assumption couldn't be anymore wrong. Theres far more places than just Europe, theres australia, Asia, South America and more. Europes sales would be much lower than  what you wrote. I predicted that FFXIII will draw 2-3 M sales in Japan. Thats one of the few games that Japan will support in a stronger fashion.

Australia, South America, Africa, Russia, the middle east etc. are all very small markets (asian sales are listed in the Japanese charts)

WKC will be lucky to sell 300k in Europe (look at Crisis Core, IU, poor sales compared to Japan). And it won't sell 500k in all those small markets.

Edit: about FF XIII, it might sell 2 million, but it probably won't. Please remember there currently are less than 2.5 million PS3 owners in Japan. When FF XII launched, there might be 3.5 million owners. I can't see a game selling with a 60 % attach rate.
