Well FFXV is inching closer to the best selling FF's in the world, and at the same time the worst selling in Japan. Apparently now it is over 7m WW. https://www.dualshockers.com/monster-hunter-world-sales-10-million-copies/ I wonder why they didn't focus on Japan?
Also for full comparison is last known digital numbers:
Zelda BoTW Wii U+ Switch= ~62k
FFXV= 29. [PS4] Final Fantasy XV - 749 / 92.389 (Square Enix) - {29/11/2016} |
Estimate in japan ff will be around 1.2mil to 1.3mil lifetime (ship+digital) while Zelda is already well over 1mil now. Itll be ship+digital at minimum 1.3mil at this rate. How high can it go is any1 guess. I doubt 2mil lol. That would be crazy
That said ff is still bigger in japan than Zelda unless they both continue to incline and decline in sales
WW zelda will easily outsell ff. Might possibly even double sales (very low chance but possible)

Botw is likely to be the #1 selling zelda game WW then?

Well, I wouldn't say it shrunk drastically from the PS2.
PS2/Xbox/GameCube/DC combined install base - 30 million
PS3/360/Wii combined install base - 24.9 million
PS4/XBO/Wii U combined install base - 9.1 million
Even though the market shrunk in the 7th gen from 6th gen, it was still pretty healthy. It was this generation where it dropped like a rock, but even then, the PS4 is expected to at least match the PS3's install base.
But, I see what you mean by how Final Fantasy has appealed less and less to Japanese gamers and more towards Western ones.

The consoles that FF is actually on did shrink drastically in Japan though. In fact the consoles are declining just as fast if not faster than FF in Japan.
PS2- 23m
PS3/360 - 12m
PS4/XB1 - ~6m so far.
