The bestselling FF is VII and that sold nearly 10 million copies. FFXIII can sell 10 million. It depends on the userbase's size when it comes out. Then again, it will probably have some impact on the PS3's sales.

No it can't. FF VII sold well because:
1. The PS1 was already popular and was #1 during that gen from the beginning. Even before FF VII. I love how people say "FF VII made the PS1 popular" when that isn't the case at all -- the PS1 was already very popular and all FF VII did was make it MORE popular. The PS3 isn't nearly as popular as the PS1.
2. FF VII was marketed EXCESSIVELY. It was on gaming magazines, non gaming magazines, soda, posters, etc. I really doubt FF XIII is going to get as much marketing as FF VII.
3. FF was really popular then. FF isn't as popular NOW because there are more RPGs that are worth buying than FF. During the PS1 era, FF was "THE" RPG. Right now? Not so much. FF is still popular but not as popular as it was before.
The PS3 isn't going to meet those conditions and neither is FF XIII. FF XIII will sell well but it's not going to hit 10 million. I'll make a bet with ANYONE that FF XIII lifetime sales won't be 10 million. If you're predicting 10 million...you're just delusional.
