2 million in Japan? Either you think 2/3 PS3 owners will buy the game or it'll move a ton of hardware.

Just for comparison: every main series FF game (don't count XI as one since it's a MMORPG) since VII has done about 2 million in Japan, first week. I'm not going to check userbases of PS1 and PS2 but previous sales should give a very good idea even if userbases are different. Besides, at this rate PS3 is going to have a userbase that's close to 4 million by the end of the year, which is when FFXIII is expected to be released. That would be ½ of userbase, not 2/3 which was what you said. All in all, my point is that 2 million is definitely possible - especially if Sony cuts the price of PS3, which is likely to happen (though I'm not sure if they need it in Japan right now).
