I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you do not mean to say that Final Fantasy is anywhere close to as popular as Call of Duty worldwide, which is what "especially in Japan" implies. I will go on to assume that you simply typed whatever you wanted to say incorrectly.

I don't know, that's a tough call. I mean, sure COD has VASTLY increased it's popularity, but to say it's more popular (more known) around the world than Final Fantasy? I don't know man....

Modern Warfare sold twelve million copies before factoring in PC sales. That is a one, a two, and six zeroes. That's more than Final Fantasy sold at the absolute screaming height of its popularity.

The Highest selling Final Fantasy game is Final Fantasy 7, which sold 9.71 Million copies. You also have to remember that this was released on ONE console as opposed to MW's Multiplatform status, where the PS3  shares an equal amount of playing ground with the 360 in terms of Multiplats.

In this time, seeing how Japan basically ate up Dragon Quest, a Square Enix developed game, It would be ingorant to immediately say that MW2 will dominate FFXIII. If I recall correctly, 2 months was all it took for Dragon Quest to sell more than 3.50 million copies. This show you how much Japan adores RPG'S. So in conclusion, I wouldn't underestimate FFXIII. MW2 will be excellent in terms of sales, but as far as I know, I think its a mixed bag
