The popularity of FFVII certainly isn't what it used to be, and from what I have played of the downloaded import on my hacked PSP I'm not very happy with Crisis Core. However, 1.5 million or so world wide is possible I would say. Even 2 million isn't impossible. Still, look at the sales of Crisis Core compared to even their remakes of games on the DS. DQIV outsold Crisis Core's lifetime Japan sales in 3 weeks.
Unless you can understand the Japanese language thoroughly, AND come to terms for the way they speak in their own language as compared to English, you would probably enjoy the US version(when it comes out) more. Besides SE improves on its games sent to America in a way that we can enjoy it better. Specifically the difficulty, gameplay and extras among other things. The voice acting usually doesn't see an improvement.
To your comment about DQIV outselling CC: DQ has pretty much always been preferred over FF in Japan(just barely though). DQ hardly sells in the US though from my knowledge.

This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
