Also, I'd like to add that FF13 was crap game and I would like to believe that the next FF (which this rumor claims to be) would do much better in terms of sales in Japan like the series usually does.

What makes you think this one won't be crap? Doesn't look like it, but FF XIII also looked good on trailers and demos and it end up sucking. You simple can't be sure the game will be amazing until you have it in your hands, especially when SE has such a bad record.

You don't know much about Versus do you? From their anouncements I've seen more people excited for this one more than FF13.

So? that doesn't mean the game will be good. Sure, it will sell well during it's first week but after that when gamers start hearing that the game sucks (plus the reviews) then those gamers will not buy the game. Similar to what zarx said where FF XIII sold 1.4m units first week and then 170k second week. The hype for this games (if it's bad) will only last for 1 week, after that the sales will drop down heavily. 

Keep in mind I'm not saying the game will suck, but given Square's record plus the extremely long development time (this most of the times hurts games in one way or another) we can't warranty the game will be good.
