GTA is a much bigger Playstation franchise and the 360 had no issue beating the PS3.

I'd say GTA isn't as closely tied to PlayStation image wise as Final Fantasy has been the last decade. Every GTA last gen was on Xbox 1, while no FFs were.

Every GTA eventually came to the Xbox, but that 6 months after the release. GTA was much bigger than FF and still is, and really provided the PS2 with the biggest franchise around until COD.
GTA had a huge userbase on the PS2, much bigger than FF and the 360 came and just outsold the PS3 by a very nice margin.

Again, it's not about series popularity, it's about brand association. GTA just wasn't as closely tied to "PlayStation", it always had a strong PC presence and then Xbox ports. With GTAIV, you had some degree of series track record on the previous Xbox. With FFXIII, you're basically starting from scratch*, all the series fans played FFX on their PS2s and FFVII on their PS1s.
* I know about FFXI, but that might as well be a separate series given it's core base and MMO structure.

17 million sold on the PS2.
That's just one game vs a 5 million selling game. It's not the same.

Agreed. GTA is far far more popular than FF. FF is far far associated with "PlayStation" than GTA. I'm happy we understand each other. :)
