I predict 5-7mil depending on when it is released. Most of the sales of FF games come in the first few weeks. After that the games lose about 50% of their potential consumers because every game is a love or hate game. Half of the fans love it the other half hate it. And this is the first final fantasy to be on a console that is almost dead in japan, and not the highest selling in all regions. So I definitely don't expect it to be as big as multiplat games such a Gta IV. Maybe as big as MGS4, but I don't know for sure.
It will probably be bigger than MGS4.  The only love/hates games in the main series are VIII and XII

@Soriku

well read what I said please

FF7 sold close to 10 million

FF6 sold 3.7 million

so there were by then MORE fans used to futuristic than "medieval"

 

FF wasn't popular before FF VII. There wasn't much marketing in the US. Though I bet you if they released FF IX instead of FF VII (and called IX VII) and marketed as much as VII and used the cinematics in commercials then I bet it would've been very popular.
I wouldn't call 4 million not popular. I would say VII was just more popular.

@soriku

well..thats highly questionable

I mean I feel FF7 is nowhere near the best but still in that day people thought cloud was "cool" (with the spiky hair n stuff)....Zidane just looks weird.

Majority of VI sales were from Japan. FF wasn't popular in the West.
You didn't say outside japan though. You said it wasn't popular.

To be honest with you, no one here knows exactly how the game will be like since none of us are on the development team. I would take a gander and say that the game will most likely be the biggest FF yet and will probably be more action oriented ala FFX-2 (the director of FFX-2 is helming this game). Only time will tell how the game will turn out. Lets wait until TGS for the latest information.

Every JRPG before FFVII sold a majority of its copies in Japan

 Actually with every Final Fantasy you will find a great number who loved it and a great number of people who hated it. The only final fantasy that isn't this way is X-2 which everybody hated.

Sorry, but that was  off topic. He said final fantasy wasn't popular before VII. And I asked how 4 million sales wasn't popular.
