So, is the thread being made in order to *prove* more people bought KH due to FF characters?
Look. This forum does not represent the majority - far, far from it. Here's one example: more people on this site own NMH, than Wii Fit. Here there are ~660 NMH owners, and 600 Wii Fit owners.
In reality, Wii Fit has sold about 50x more than NMH. Basically, this community cannot be used as representative of the majority, so this "poll" is meaningless, even if all of us bought the game because we're Square fans.
Kingdom Hearts has never sold less than its FF competitors in America. Its audience is quite obviously larger than the normal FF/Square fanbase, because it beats all of its top games on every platform (KH > FFX, KH:CoM > FFTA, KH 358/2 > FF3).
You brought up Japan sales, and I think we've conceded the series being driven by its FF fans there (though this is less important, since America is KH's main region). Still, you'd need to explain why it sells far less than FF in their region, while they're so much higher here.
Actually, if you think the game is selling so well due to its FF fanservice (going as far as saying it was avoided due to Disney), tell me this - why is Dissidia doing so much worse than KH 358/2, or even Crisis Core in America? The opposite situation is occurring in Japan.
(edit) Oh, one more thing. FF fans avoiding the game due to Disney's presence only hurts your argument. For every FF fan disinterested in the game, it takes another Disney/non-FF fan to get the game's sales to where they are.

I'll add something on topic. I got it because I'm a Square fan. I'm neutral to most things Disney, though I do like some of their worlds a lot (Aladdin, Little Mermaid). Similarly, I'll be picking Epic Mickey up because it's a high budget western game with Warren Spector behind it (Mickey being cool and visiting old Disney worlds are a bonus). I'm a gamer, so the main reasons behind my purchases will be game related.
