I agree that the term 'real gamers' should be bannable. It's meant to be insulting and people who feel they have the correct or 'real' opinions about games use it. They, of course, are no more real than any other gamers, even casual ones.
Back on topic: the Famitsu numbers represent a tiny fraction of one percent of the gaming market. It means there are thousands, or even tens of thousands of people who responded and want those games badly. That's not a significant chunk of the market. It's a snapshot of which games a specific set of gamers want.
When the PS3 first came out there were a lot of interviews in Japan. A lot of Japanese gamers used to want the PS3, but said it was too expensive. Now, it seems, fewer want it. Those people are far more mainstream than the ones responding to Famitsu about wanting Final Fantasy.
Remember that, at its very best, Final Fantasy sold to approximately 15% of PS2 owners in Japan. And that was with a relatively cheap and very popular PS2. The PS3, on the other hand, has struggled for 8 months to reach 1 million units sold in Japan. None of those games will save it.
