Unless I made a mistake, I put FFXIII above FFXII sales and picked it as the 4th best selling ever. Seems reasonable to me. 2.5m in Japan, 3.5m in the west. Obviously I could be off, but it is a rough estimate.

But crap, I forgot the X360 version, so... maybe higher? I don't know if being multiplatform will help this title or not.

you are OFF by a bit

FFXIII should sell no less than 7 million at absolute minimum, I expect 9 - 10 million

to make 7 million it will do

2.5 million in japan + 4.5 Million in the west

eventually I expect:

2.5 Million in Japan + 7 Million in the west!!!!!! (thats LTD including all re-releases at the end of this gen)

so you expect this to be the best selling FF ever? (no surprise really, and I'm sure your 7m in the west proves a remake is coming ) Everything I've read from others says that JRPGs are in a decline. Of course, FF won't have the same decline, but 12 didn't even break 6, so a jump to 10 seems unreasonable to me.

I can see 7m total, 6m was more of a probable minimum, but 9-10 seems a stretch.
