Final Fantasy becoming available on Xbox didn't propel the series to new heights in sales though; FF13 across PS3 and 360 still sold less than FF10 on PS2 or FF7/FF8 on PS1.

TP does not prove me wrong, it sold less than 9 million in spite of riding the wave of Nintendo's most successful console ever. Switch will almost certainly be less successful than the Wii.

FF coming to Xbox caused the series sales to rise again, FFXII sold 5.9m down 2m from X, XIII sold less on PS3 but with the added sales from 360 it matched X's sales, this highlights not only my point in that people can be interested in a game but not end up buying it when it's not available to them for the earlier reasons but it also shows how significant adding a new userbase into the mix is and shows new userbases who previous didn't buy the games will buy it if it's made available to them.

TP heavily proves you wrong because it flat out shows the series can have massive increases when the is momentum, now the is also an added userbase.

But again, it didn't raise the sales ceiling for the franchise, and similarly, Switch being portable won't significantly raise the ceiling for Zelda's sales.

4 million increase from a 101 million install base; Switch will not sell close to 101 million, so any increase will accordingly be much lower.
