And it seems that you doesn't consider the fact that Final Fantasy is one of the biggest franchises in Japan and the actual data that we have about Pre-orders. Even on the USA(where is the majority of the Xbox Ones sold) things aren't looking good for the Xbox One's version.

 

Would be awesome if this game sells more than Fallout 4 sold on the Xbox One, with the Xbox One version. Since, if that happens, the game will surpass 25 millions of units sold on the PS4 alone.

Not necessarily. Recently almost everything points out most Xbox gamers seem to be moving towards digital media. With a game like this one, it makes sense to, not to mention I am sure it will be more popular on the PS4, but not horribly so... 

The way I see it, I think 8.5 and above for PS4 and 1.7 and above for XONE sounds likely since the ratio seems not different from what I've forecasted for other games.

If we were to predict the US/UK ratio, but I believe the OP is asking for the worldwide ratio...

I stand by what I said.

It's more possible that less sales are made on PS4 because of westernization of the game than more is made on X1. People that never played or liked FF I to X-3 won't magically decide they want to buy in droves FF XV now only because this entry is more western.

FF isn't the same thing every year. Each installment is a completely different game. If people buy things solely for the label, then we're beyond salvation... 

 

You don't need to teach me about FF. But to expect common folk to look at FF XV and think "ow I never played the other previous games, so I'll buy this one" is quite farfetched. For main reason, people are afraid that they will miss the history because they haven't played the previous one and for second, if they weren't interested in the genre before there is very little reason for them to have a sudden burst of interest just because it became more western, they already have wrpg to play.
