^ it will never reach 8m

How hard would it be to reach 5mil on PS3 and 3mil on 360? I really don't see it :/

5 Million on the PS3 is possible.  But 3 Million on the 360 is really up in the air.  Since its all going to be based on international sales to make up those 360 sales.  And even then, many people will still probably want to buy the PS3 version, since they've already announced it will have additional content the 360 version won't.  (The 360 version is essentially the game with content missing).

And while we're at it, it seems some people forget that FFXIII is only being released on the 360 outside of Japan.

Where ? I thought that the PS3 version is being cutted down to be equal with X360 release ?

If this is true, its something I didn't hear.  But it would make sense.

Shortly after announcing the 360 version however, they detailed how the 360 version would have differences than the PS3 version (though not specifying what differences).  Pointing to possible graphical deterioration or even some alternate content between the games due to the different amount of memory on the 360 disk.  They also threw out the possibility that the PS3 version might feature some extras that the 360 version may not like dual audio (Japanese and English voices) as well as additional content that won't fit on the 360 disk.

But I guess all of this could have changed by now.  The game has been stalled so long and was still in development for well over a year and a half since the E3 announcement it would be on the 360.
