will FFXIV 2.0 beat FFXIII-2 ?

Probably not. If not mistaken FFXIII had some really decent sales...so many of those who bought (even those who didn't like it) might be getting the XIII-2 for the sake of seeing a bit of RPG in it.

2.0 will have a WAY crappier release because it won't be a fresh release...even if they're relaunching, the media already know what to expect and when you search "FFXIV review/overview" you might still receive the launch ratings. Also, i really doubt 2.0 will be much better than it is now, probably not being good enough to convince the especiallized media.

IMO 2.0 might have the relaunch sales even to a ported game, like when they launched, as example, FFIV, V, VI and chrono trigger to PSone.

True to an extent, but I believe SE and gaming sites will look upon it as "FFXIV 2.0" and not just FFXIV in general. It will probably get new reviews from gaming sites, because this is technically a new game we are getting. Of course people will come in and try to make it look bad, but as long as SE pushes it as a fresh look to the game, then I can see numbers coming in. I know PS3 sales at least will be high.
