the chances of FXIII reaching 10mil is the same as GT5 reaching 10mil

So the chances are great? I doubt that.

3 out of 4 GT's surpassed 10 million mark.

1 out of 12 FF's surpassed the 10 million mark.

75% GT's...

8% FF's...

Not to mention FFVII was on a system that pretty much had a MASSIVE cut of the marketshare (probably between 60-75%).  And an ad campaign unlike any other for a game of its time along with being virtually unchallenged outside of Japan in its genre.

Whereas FFXII is being split between 2 different consoles with about 50% marketshare, going against a ton of other games in marketing and no longer has the monopoly for the RPG market in the west.
