FF XIII 360 should sell ATLEAST 2 million copies, and that alone should be enough to persuade them to push VERSUS on the 360.

If they want to that is

Wha...?

It's looking like the 360 version will sell 1.5 million at best.  The game is looking to have a 245k opening in NA, and if FFXII is anything to go by, XIII will probably sell 30% of its lifetime sales in NA the very first week (possibly an even higher percentage, given that JRPGs seem to be becoming ever more niche in the West).  If true, that means the game will sell around 800k lifetime in NA, and far less in Europe.

2 million would be pretty hard to achieve unless the franchise suddenly grows some better legs.

then I overestimated the 360 version if it doesnt break 2M, I will be shocked..

for an RPG as big as FF, 2 million isn't high at all

On the 360 it is.  The game is going to sell >2:1 in favor of ps3 in NA, and even more in favor of ps3 in Europe.  Assuming the game sells 4-5 million in the West (6-7 million worldwide - quite respectable), and assuming the 360 version somehow manages an exact 1/3rd of sales (which it probably won't even manage in NA), that means the 360 verison would sell between 1.3 and 1.6 million.
