@Farmland and Dobby Did you read my earlier post? At this point preorders alone are looking likely to hit at least 1 million so that should be the absolute low-ball estimate for first day and 1.2 million for first week.

Source, and it better not be retail pre-orders... So many people have fallen for that on this site in the last few years.

 

No specific source. Extrapolated from ioi's comment here:

And Source's comment in the Japan Preview from a few weeks ago. I don't remember which one it was, I can't seem to find it now, but he said that FF games usually have a 75% preorders to first week sales ratio. Also as of 2 weeks ago the Japan preview had 13 preorders over 675k, up 75k from the week before. Source didn't include 13 preorders in the preview this week for some reason. So 2 weeks ago with 4 weeks till launch it would only need to average 81-82k preorders per week to reach a million.
