Where are you getting that data from? I am looking at the VG chartz numbers and it is showing X with 100,000 more at Japans launch than XII. The launch data for X is absent for any other region so it is hard to make a comparison outside of Japan. Both of them are under VII though which set the record at just over 2 million. Further, XIIs launch in America saw it only take home 600k, which is way under what you predict for the American launch. While I am certain being the first new FF on a system will help, it is also hurt by a way way smaller install base (compared to XII launch). I am betting you are off by around a million all said and done, but I could see the launch being as low as 2.5 million total for first week world wide.
