Looking at one of the other big franchises as a comparison. (I picked MGS) none of it's games sold over 1million in Japan (correct me if I'm wrong) all seemed to be roughly 800k including MGS4 on the PS3. So the trend seemed to continue regardless of install base.

Final Fantasy 9, 10 and 12 all sold roughly 2.8m. So yeah, I feel that FFv13 selling over 1m in Japan is a no brainer.

 

Edit: I'm sure atleast half of the FF fans in japan will be buying this "spin off" which I think looks better than 13 : )

1.5-1.8 million lifetime in Japan

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

First of all, It's not a spinoff! A spinoff is what the Wii gets. I.e. Crystal Chronicles.
Versus is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series which is the main series.
Having said that I'm not sure about sales. I can safely say that the Japanese game market is well and truly dead.

Does it have a number behind it? Is there a qualifier by that number? If both questions are answered yes, then its a spin-off. I don't see why people get so worked up over it though. The Mario Kart series was a spin-off and look what happened there. Same with Crystal Chronicles really. Spin-offs can evolve into their own main series which can often be very good.

I'll take on someone for this. I am doubting it will break a million, although I would like to hold off until FFXIII releases. Still, I will throw my hat into the ring under the terms of sig control for an amount of time to be negotiated.

I tenatively agree pending an agreement on the exact terms of the bet. Once we work out length I would be willing to agree.
