Let me see if I understand you correctly. You expect the following. - Final Fantasy XIII will sell 10M. That is to be the best selling FF ever. You expect this even though - Final Fantasy XIII is on the console that is likely to be the second worst (perhaps worst) selling console a main FF has ever been on. - Final Fantasy XIII is on a console that is strongest in the region Final Fantasy is weakest in.

First off Final Fantasy sales are BEST when its the first FF on a new console. FFX, which was released BEFORE there was a large install base for the PS2, is the best selling FF game of all time. Before that FFVII was handily the best selling one. It's not a stretch to think that FFXIII will be the new best seller. I think there's a REALLY good chance it will be bundled in Japan as well just like the FFVII PSP game was. I am 99.9% sure that within a few weeks of FFXIII's release, if its good, Square could move over a million console/game bundles in Japan alone. In 2001, not long after the PS2's initial release, FFX moved over 2 million copies in a few days in Japan alone. Given that metal Gear Solid 4, which is not nearly as popular a series in FF in Japan did very well, Final Fantasy XIII has a very good shot at hitting nearly 10 million worldwide and becoming the best selling RPG/FF game ever. The only thing I think is likely to stop that is it being somehow a huge stinker like FFIX was, but I doubt that will be the case.
They just need to get the damn thing out, preferably before December.
