@sc like brute say the PS2 userbase was more than the double than PS3 userbase now.

That's what a lot of people said about MGS4 making 500k... just thought I'd throw that out there.... also we may still have a year and a half of sales left before we even see this game... 4 mil user base isnt out of the question.

Correct, but how much do you think it will sell in japan first week. The ps3 will most likley be between 3-4mln by the earliest FFXIII could be released. Now if 2million/5 million ps2 owners bought the game, lets just say the most it should have in japan is about 1.3mln on an install base of 3.5 mln ps3s. Now that is only japan. Others will be alot bigger than it was on the ps2, and so will be america. Final Fantasy is a very front loaded series and usually sells 80-90% of its total sales the first few weeks. So first week sales should be I guess about 2/3rds of total sales. So 2mln world wide is far too low. If it does about 1 mln in japan, it will most likely do 1 mln in the U.S. This isn't counting others which will be at least a few 100k. That is well over 2mln first week.

Is the game releasing now? No I think square will compensate with better U.S sales and maybe better others sales. Read my other post if you want to know in details why it will sell well over 2 mln first week worldwide.
^also the series has been slowing down,FFXII sold less with a bigger userbase
tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"
Don't think I could answer this til I have a concrete release date or timeframe. Otherwise just a guess in the dark.

Well if you notice there is a trend.
FFVII>FFVIII>FFIX then it went FFX>FFXII. The first final fantasy always sells best because the series is usually hyped out to be the best thing ever when in reality its not. Also FFXII was a horrible game and deserved much less sales than what it got.(imo)
5.3-6.2 million LT worldwide
Japan: 1.3-1.7M
US: 2.5-2.7M
EU/Others: 1.5-1.8
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

1) WiiFit will outsell the pokemans.
Current Status: 2009.01.10 70k till PKMN Yellow (Passed: Emerald, Crystal, FR/LG)
Japan think it will do 1.2 mill first week.
Us 800k
Others 600k
Combined ww-2.6 first week, lifetime 6-7 mill.
I'm going to say.
1.7 million in Japan
700K in US
700K in Europe
so, that in total is around 3 million
