No, because FFXV is no real Final Fantasy JRPG. It will be just a stupid Kingdom-Hearts-like button mashing action game like 1000 others. No JRPG means bad sales.

But Kingdom Hearts is pretty damn big in Japan...

OT: Probably not, it might reach higher western sales than XIII though, depends on the quality.


Kingdom hearts is not that big in Japan... lol. It's about moderate maybe but not big. You need to look again at the sales figures of the series. The PS2 ones were the only ones to really do great.

The two mainline entries in the franchise were the only games that did great anywhere, mostly because the handheld iterations were all nigh incomprehensible fluff.  I also think you need to adjust your expectations a little, because selling over a million in Japan is generally very good.  To put it in perspective, the two main kingdom hearts games in Japan have sold better than any of the various musou/warriors games, any tales of ______ (pretty much all of namco bandai's catalog really, tekken 3 just edged out kh2), any metal gear, any sonic game, any shin megami tensei, all but one resident evil (2 being the exception), most zeldas and on par with the rest, the list goes on.  It may not be on the top of the hill with pokemon and monster hunter, but not many games are, but it's certainly not moderate.
