Nope, I think it'll do about the same as FFXI absolute best case scenario. When FFXI launched it was PS2 only (with a bundled HDD), the PC port came six months later. FFXIV is PS3/PC day-and-date, and most MMORPG players in Japan still game on PCs. That's where the MoHun Frontier and FFXI crowds are, and that's who FFXIV is targeting.
Kirby's there because Nintendo put it in their release list for this year, just like Sony put in Trico, WKC2 and GT5. It might not happen, but if it does it'll could outsell every PS3 game released this year going by the series history (nearly every Kirby platformer's a million seller in Japan, including the two on DS this gen).
