S-E will still need to attract an audience outside Japan if they even remote to hope that DQIX to outsell FFXIII WW. It will require a lot of advertising and a lot of hype. Dragon Quest IX will need to sell over 6mil in order to even have a chance of beating FFXIII since I can practically guarantee 6+mil for FFXIII.

And the "niche" JRPG userbase you talk about clearly doesn't apply to FF main games like it does other JRPG's. The game is guaranteed to sell in Europe and America and by the time it's released in those regions the PS3 will not have a userbase or price issue. DQIX is not so guaranteed to sell well outside Japan.

I think an area where we largely disagree is the sales of FFXIII, I see around 4M worldwide sales, where you see 6M+.

Of course I could be wrong in that one.
