Japanese publisher Square Enix expects the upcoming Final Fantasy to sell over six million copies, according to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada in an interview with Reuters.

The predecessor to FF XII has sold about six million copies since it was released in 2005, and the publisher expects the new title to do even better, which is not an unrealistic goal, as the franchise has a solid fan base around the world. Final Fantasy XIII will be released this December in Japan on the Xbox 360 and PS3, and in the rest of the world a few months later.
