What do you base that on?
FF7 sold almost 10 million. The best selling KH is 6.5m. I would be really surprised if KH3 outsold FF7.
FF7 meta is on 92%, Kingdom hearts best is 2 with 87% according to Gamerankings and metacritic.
I think it would be pretty surprising.

A few factors:
Sales
-KH3 is on an extra platform, at release at least (FF7R is a timed exclusive but we don't know how long the wait will be for other platforms or what those other plartforms will be yet). XB1 version of KH3 probably won't be a huge seller, but considering FFXV has sold well over 1m on XB1 with digital (at least 1.3m), it's safe to say KH3 will do 750k+ on XB1 at least.
-Some people will inevitably wait for all 3 parts of FF7R to release in the hopes of getting a single bundle with all 3 parts for a good price, which will hurt the sales of the first 2 parts initially at least.
Reviews
-I think critics aren't going to be too happy about the shift from active time battle to full action combat in FF7R, which will hurt the reviews. I also think KH3 will be the best reviewed in the series.

Huh... i don't think being on Xbox will make a big difference, as you have pointed out. Looking at the best sellers KH3 has to grow 4 million.
Both FF7 and KH were platform exclusives aswell.
The only point i concede is that we don't know what effect the episodic structure will have.
As for the review issue, i wish it were true and they had slammed FFXV for it aswell. But, they didn't. FFXV was an incomplete broken game with one detached "continent" for a world and the most basic "stand behind and hold the button" combat and still got 80 something on metacritic.
I would also add that the possibility of star wars and marvel additions to KH3 could have an impact aswell, but we don't know of anything yet.
