Dear god, NO.

That sounds about right for sales, I'm thinking 5-6 million.

you remember when square released StarOcean 4 on 360 and claimed that the ps3 version couldnt be released because of reasons not possible to talk about? ;) you remember how it released EXACTLY and not a day over a year later with extra content? ;) you rememver how they reasured PlayStation fans that ff13 was going smoothly and had no problems because it was being made exclusively on the new white engine for ps3? ;)

People cling to the hope that one day Final Fantasy will return to the standards set in previous gens. 

I'm certainly one of them... come onnnn Nomura!  Don't let me down after all this time!

Seeing as it is cross gen, and FF is a megaton series if its a good one. The first FF of a generation also always sells the best, spin offs no more than half of original. Even if it is cross gen, and technically a game that should have come out 4 years ago, it will be fresh and new to the public as FFXV and alongside a new console release. Combined sales between those who already know and love the series and those looking for the Biggest attention grabbers for their new shiny PS4.......

7-8million. Remember, Versus was basically what the main concensus always wanted in a FF game. Darker Story, more action based combat, Open World Map(not large arenas), the return of the Mini Game, etc. I think it will appeal to far more people if it is close to this structure. 

Seriously, the only characters that get anywhere near as much play in adoration(like Avatars and fan art) is Link,Sora,Mario, Cloud. And just think......Noctis's game isn't even out yet lol.

I remember very clearly that the Versus announcement was received as a Crisis Core-esque spin off for the PS3.

Square Enix has bold face lied to their fans for the past 6 years now. I think it is just Game Politically incorrect to say anything other than "all consoles are even, spread the love", but I am sorry to break it to some of you ,360 dev did quite a lot of damage to the game. Not all of XIII's issues can be blamed on 360, but a 12 month delay on a game that already was taking too long, the idea to cut content, etc surely can. I am not going to search the bowels of the internet for the evidence needed to "prove" this to some of you but I assure you it is there. A dev from SE, shortly after the betrayalton at E3 stated they had cut a massive amount of content to streamline and make the porting easier to 360. Images of areas meant for XIII came out years prior to XIII-2's release and they ARE landscapes used in XIII-2, something SE actively denied to have done. Wada swore that development of XIII had not started on 360 till several days after E3, but there surfaced info about how MS and SE had been in bed together for way before that. There even had been an interview with devs at SE that said the company had did focus testing years prior(when they first thought about 360 port most likely) that told them that fans would hate the linear nature of the game, yet they opted to do it anyway because they thought with all the cut content they could expand the series into multiple titles(aka Xiii-2,Xiii-3).

Most of this info will be virtually impossible to find now tho, because it was several years ago, and SE has done a great job of retracting all those bad statements(which demands that websites take them down or be sued for slander).  I also quite loved the articles about how literally the entire company was disgusted with that decision and knew how much it would offend the fanbase, many were threatening to quit.

This is also why Wada stepping down has been the best thing to come from Square since FFVII. He was surely going to run that company into the ground in some effort to pad his pockets even more.

that ff13 wasnt hampered in anyway, shape or form due to ps3

you remember how ff13 was being fully developed for ps3? You remember when they announced that ff13 would be coming to 360? You remember how they made it specifically known that it would be and look just as good as the ps3 version? You remember how they said that the reason they were bringing it to 360 was because they wanted to broaden their audience?

;)

only casual FF fans thought it was a spin off, because SE stated from jump it wasn't and that it was literally just as important and on par in the series as XIII was. There was just some mild ignorance about it in the West mostly. It was designed to be an alternate future for where the series as a whole could go.

Several times over, Versus was voted #1 or in top 10 of most anticipated in Japan. Frequently above FFXIII, except for when XIII was about to release.
