3. Who loves Final Fantasy in Japan and doesn't already own a PS3? The game has been announced for 3+ years.

Is that is why PS3 sales jumped this year in April from 15k to 60k( 60,361 (+289%) ) during FFXIII demo bundle release?

Also, there are some people, who waited 29,980 yen PS3 price before getting FFXIII. Not to mention, that PS2 sales also increased during FFX release(which came on 2nd year of PS2 life).

I'm just using the logic of "Who loves Mario in Japan and doesn't already own a Wii?"

The difference between Wii and PS3 in Japan is 9M vs 4M in 3 years. PS3 is getting it`s first huge(1M+) game in Japan, while Wii already had around 5 huge games in Japan. We shall see, hiow big will be impact from NSMB.

Wii's had 6 million+ JP sellers so far (Wii Sports, Play, Fit, Fit+, Sports Resort, Mario Kart), and 2 more that almost hit a million (Mario Galaxy, MH3).  NSMBWii will be the seventh, then they also have at least one more sure million seller (DQX) in the pipeline.

PS3's getting it's first and (possibly) last million seller in FFXIII.  GT5 may manage it too, but that's far from a sure thing. 

Versus 13 is also a possiblity.
