While I do think it's pretty silly to assume FFXIV will fail, I wouldn't be surprised that a year after release console gamers represent a pretty small amount of the total population.
I haven't played FFXI in a while and sadly they don't report number of players who play on PS2/360 in the census, but it was pretty rare to find someone whos main mode of play was through a console.
I occassionaly met a person who played on a console and the only person I actually knew that played on their PS2 was someone who only played on it while someone else was using their PC.
(though I do know a good number of people that rented FFXI for the 360 just for achievements)
