Wha...?
It's looking like the 360 version will sell 1.5 million at best. The game is looking to have a 245k opening in NA, and if FFXII is anything to go by, XIII will probably sell 30% of its lifetime sales in NA the very first week (possibly an even higher percentage, given that JRPGs seem to be becoming ever more niche in the West). If true, that means the game will sell around 800k lifetime in NA, and far less in Europe.
2 million would be pretty hard to achieve unless the franchise suddenly grows some better legs.

then I overestimated the 360 version if it doesnt break 2M, I will be shocked..
for an RPG as big as FF, 2 million isn't high at all

On the 360 it is. The game is going to sell >2:1 in favor of ps3 in NA, and even more in favor of ps3 in Europe. Assuming the game sells 4-5 million in the West (6-7 million worldwide - quite respectable), and assuming the 360 version somehow manages an exact 1/3rd of sales (which it probably won't even manage in NA), that means the 360 verison would sell between 1.3 and 1.6 million.
I HEARD MS did not ask yet.

not really i can see it barely doing 2milion nothing more though. I think its opening week worldwide will be something like 500,000+ 360 version.

Well, as long as MS shows S-E the $$$, it doesn't really matter how well it sells.

FFXII had an opening week of 570k in NA, yet it only sold 1.87 million lifetime in the region. It opened at 420k in Europe and only managed 1.4 million lifetime. FF doesn't have that kind of legs.
I don't think so and I don't want it to go multiplat. Look how f#$% up has FXIII become.

Actually if ffxiii sales are good enough, MS won't need to show them any $$$. S-E will see the $$$ in their eyeballs.
