It'd be hilarious if it ends up coming up about 500k short . . .

... because that's about how much it'd sell on the 360 in Japan I'd guesstimate.

Will it reach 10 million... I think so.

Will it surpass Final Fantasy 7's overall sales... No.

Especially when teh remake comes about.

I think that 10 million figure - or the 9.7 or whatever it is - is actually counting the PC version, though I don't know if it counts the international version.

Regardless

No, this game is not ging to do it. I'm sure it will sell great, but this isn't like.... Pokemon or something

The 9.7 is only the original PS1 release. The international re-release and PSN sales push it well over 10 million. The PC version adds even more sales on top of that.

Wrong. 9.7 is counting the PC version and all the re-releases the game has got. Dont trust vgchartz numbers that easily, check other sources.

@ Kenryoku_Maxis:

Are you really calling that a benefit? Coming out on PS2 in late 2006 right when the next console generation was starting and after the next installment in the series has been announced is somehow a benefit now?

It seemed to work just fine for series such as Persona and Tales. Heck, both those series kept selling titles on the PS2 well into this generation. More consoles = the chance for more sales. Just because it hurt Final Fantasy with FFIX and FFXII its somehow its a negative across the board?

We are talking about Final Fantasy here. And in case of Final Fantasy coming out after the beggining of the next console generation was never a benefit. Both FFIX and XII lost a lot of sales because of that.

It will outperform FFVII in the west and underperform it in Japan. Others is 3x Japan now, and Americas is 3x Japan in aggregate - but the 360 base is literally 25x bigger outside Japan so I don't see why this is impossible. A little over 10m worldwide across the two systems is realistic. They'll probably make less money on FFXIII than on FFVII though.
