You can see it in the charts. Combined both systems in both Americas and Others, Bad Company 2 sold 1,281,699 copies last week. This week Final Fantasy XIII sold 1,205,035 copies.
Now I'm not going to play analyst with these (especially since this could change with NPD data), save for noting that it does seem odd that a moderate hit series could have a debut so close to one of the big blockbuster series.
But it does seem that S-E's report about the fastest selling isn't true, even if FFXIII sells plenty.
EDIT: So the numbers for FFXIII got upgraded. Don't see that happen often or else I would have waited to see if the numbers stuck. As it is, both series are selling well, which was still a point from the beginning (just because it seemed as if FFXIII wasn't selling as well did not mean it was selling poorly).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
