While I believe that X can arguably be the best JRPG to come out this decade it is simply not Final Fantasy..nor even Dragon Quest in name recognition to the general public. It will sell well but more in a Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze kinda way. It'll slowly get to a million, but not right out.
This is a RPG on a Nintendo console. Let's look at the RPG history on the Wii
- Monster Hunter Tri, 2.21 mil lifetime - 561K in Week 1 - a massive franchice with a huge install base
- Xenoblade Chornicles, 800K lifetime
- Last Story, 630K lifetime
- Murumasa, 590K lifetime
- Pandoras Tower, 300K lifetime
The game will be a critical darling but just won't see a massive week 1.

Zelda games are ALWAYS hyped up in a way where EVERYONE will talk about the game. Major console releases come out infrequently yet they never hit those Mario numbers.
Twilight Princess was a huge deal, being the first Wii release. That sold 715K over the first two weeks.
And just over 1 mil for Skyward Sword which was late in the Wii life cycle (meaning the attach rate was far less).
I hope I'm wrong on both! But history seems pretty consistent - take it from me I'm a Senior Business Analyst for a living.
run away!
