The debut trailer in their official youtube channel for Persona 5 has over 3M views.
Square Enix is concerned about releasing Final Fantasy XV close to Persona 5.
Japan most anticipated lists had Persona PS3 + PS4 actually beating Final Fantasy in votes.
The franchise numbers up until now will be destroyed by Persona 5, it's getting WAY more popular nowdays, specially after 4 Golden success on Vita.
And if past sales were anything to go up with CoD should be leading the poll with FIFA on it's tail... (for the guy you quoted)
And niche franchise don't obviously are high on this lists, had anything like it have been as hyped as Persona is getting now? It's a first.

Of the 3 million views - 20+ of them were from me , I know cause I saw that trailer so many times lol and i'm pretty sure a lot of people have as well multiple times.
I'm confident the game will sell more than all the other games in the series but I highly doubt its gonna beat a mainline FF series installment (especially a new one that is as hyped up as XV) in terms of sheer sales - maybe in popularity in the same way Xenoblade beat Final Fantasy XIII but not in sales.
Regardless gonna get both games day 1 myself and hopefully pre-order on a collector's edition for both :)
Edit: I played P4 for PS2 few months ago in anticipation of P5 before it was delayed - still hyped for it.
Edit 2 : I'm also happy that the series is getting more exposure than it has in the past - this is great for me because it means more Persona games in the future :)!

Lol, yeah, Persona won't beat Final Fantasy in sales, not even half of that, at least not globaly, because it may actually be a good fight in Japan.
And yeah, again, it's nice to see it growing outside of its shell, pretty much like Bloodborne got such a big exposure, people used to call Souls games niche before it, afterall.

I think it's the opposite. I don't think Persona 5 will do half of FF15 in Japan, but has a shot to be closer in the West.
