That's all worldwide and most people are saying there's not a chance in hell that it'll sell that well.

Square Enix themselves expect 10 million worldwide.  Wada said it'll seell less in Japan than usual, but more in the west thanks to being multiplatform.

I know they expect that, but most people outside of SE think that's absolutely crazy.

Well, I don't disagree.  Wada expected 5m in Japan alone for DQIX and that's clearly not happening either.

Interestingly, 10m was also Square's original target for FFX back in 2001.
