Dragon Quest XI will, especially being on both 3DS and PS4. But FFXV won't reach it confortably, that's for sure. PS4 will be at 3m or something by the time it launches, and considering FF sales are extremely frontloaded on the first week, it would have to do at the very least 600k FW to reach it. But I'm confident it will!

According to Media Create Final Fantasy XIII (the last mainline Final Fantasy game) sold 1,501,964 on a 4,276,480 PS3 install base. That's a 35% attach rate for the first week. If the PS4 is at 3 million units and FFXV sells at a similar attach rate, it would sell approximately 1.05 million FW. I don't think one million should be hard at all for FFXV. I could be wrong obviously, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sells close to one million in its first week.

Yes, it should be close, but I don't think it will be easy, especially cause most sales are on the first week. Also, FFXIII had an extremely crazy hype before launch, and because of that I can't see XV reaching the same attach rate on FW. But let's hope for the best... the game looks like it derserves all the sales it can get.
