none of the previous crystal chronicles have been "definitive hits". they're all modest sellers at best. so expecting this one to be different "because its FF", is ludicrous.
The Crystal Chronicles series has never been a chart-topping series. The best selling CC game to date is the original on the GCN, with 1.38 million in sales. The DS iterations have averaged 500,000 units apiece.
With this being the first full-fledged console Crystal Chronicles, and a 55M console userbase, I expect it to be a modest hit. With anywhere between 2-2.5 million sales.
I don't see this title impacting DQX whatsoever. If I was Square-Enix however, I'd put it on DS. Lower Dev Cost + Higher Sales= More Profit.
