no. Im not at all. Im assuming that not as much people hated FF12 as you are trying to say so any comparison to WW is moot. Really you could compare WW to 13 as that game is way more polarizing.
If that is the case then you really cant brag about Xenoblade numbers either. LR FF13 PS3 version ALONE did better than xenoblade either. And that was released later and on a system with a smaller install base. And that game wasnt that well received. But bragging wasnt my point or aim. Im simply stating that the FF series is so big that they will sell larger than just about any other JRPG series outside of maybe Dragon Quest

True, but brand recognition and empty promises can go a long way. FF XIII is the perfect example. (And I wouldn't want to brag about LR either.)
But that's even besides the point, it isn't a question of whether X will outsell Lightning Returns (which I'm positive will, hell once Xenoblade 3DS comes out it will surpass LR) I'm just saying FF is not the quality jrpg powerhouse it once was. For people wanting a truly epic jrpg, Xenoblade and Xenoblade X could be exactly where they go.

Yes man, thats my point! and its not bragging if its true and again im illustrating HOW much more influential that series is compared to Xenoblade its not evne close.
Sure it could but IMHO the treatment of the series so far will ensure that it stays niche. FF has always appeared on the most popular systems of their time. Last gen was the only one where the main series appeared on a system that wasnt the market leader (and even then it didnt matter cause it was multiplat). Ninty didnt even want to release Xenoblade over here. X is releasing to a very small install base. IMHO i think people are going to get back into FF this gen. I think Xeno is way too niche to do the numbers you think they will. FYI I dont think its anything to be proud of for Xeno to outsell LR by havign to have a rerlease If we throw in 360 numbers it would still beat Xeno

Short term yes.
Also, there were 190,000 XBox 360 LR software sales (which is terrible numbers) and if Xenoblade 3DS only sells 300,000 it will beat both combined.
