Final Fantasy is widely popular in Japan, the #2 most popular RPG there. And we're not picking on it. We were just using Dragon Quest as an example to prove someone elses stupid (stereotypical) statement wrong. |
Actually, it's #3 behind Pokemon & Dragon Quest. #4 if we count Monster Hunter too.

You are very wrong if you think that FFXIII wont outsell MH3.

You are very wrong if you think FFXIII will outsell MHP2G. Or MHP2 even.

It makes very little sense to use past releases of a franchise to judge its current popularity. MH3 is the last main Monster Hunter release, so its current popularity should be judged by it.
But if you want to use past releases:
FFVII, VIII, IX, X > MHP2G

Unlike the "past games" you listed MHP2G is a current gen release. And it's also outsold all those FFs but FFVII/FFVIII, and at the rate it's going it'll likely outsell them too. As will MHP3 whenever it gets released.
Current gen, imo the top 5's looking like it'll be...

Final Fantasy is a lot bigger than Monster Hunter. Only 1 Monster Hunter makes it into the top 50 games in Japan ever, while quite a few make it in. Not only that, but 7 & 8 both sold more in Japan.
As for the biggest franchises in Japan it's something like...
Pokemon > Mario > DQ > FF > Monster Hunter
However, Monster Hunter is yet to really prove itself with only 1 mega hit and 3-4 titles over 1m.
