Final Fantasy XIII series sold over 10 million games, do they deserve it?

Its comforting to know that Final Fantasy VII has outsold the entire XIII saga.

just to illustrate how unimpressive these sales actually are. FF13 proper, still sold less than 7,8 or 10. Keep in mind thats 13 released on TWO consoles versus those one. I imagine the FF13 rerelease will widen the gap even further. Not to mention that the 7 series still blows the sales of 13 away. 7 and CC alone put it above 12mil didnt even throw Dirge in there. 

And for even more comparisons. THe ME trilogy has sold more than 13mil across 3 platforms ( thats 13mil WITHOUT counting the trilogy or WIi U version)

You have to take in regard that JRPGs in general lost popularity in the last generation  compared  to the generations that 7, 8 and 10 were available, and I think its unfair to compare the sales of the Mass effect trilogy to the FF XIII trilogy because the Mass effect games were available in more platforms (The entire Mass effect games on PC alone has sold 1.96 million according to vgcharz) .  I think 10 million for the first two game is great, taking in regard of the decline of the serie and genre.
