OT: So the first shipment is a million, followed up by two more shipments the first week, totaling 1.3 million? Not including bundles?

Sounds about right. First week we're looking at a bit over a million (probably over 1.15 million) unbundled copies, with a second week probably a fourth of that or so. Throw in bundles (50k?), and you're looking at 1.2-1.3 million first week.

This Final Fantasy will probably have slightly better legs than past Final Fantasies, given the current state of the ps3 in Japan. I get the feeling it'll continue to drag in new buyers for at least a few months, since the ps3 is selling slower than the ps2 once used to. Of course, Final Fantasy X released on a similar userbase in Japan when the ps2 was at a similar price point, so I could be totally wrong on that.

It could be that Final Fantasy is losing popularity, or the ps3 is holding it back. 1.3 million seems somewhat low, and I once figured it'd sell 1.3-1.6 million first week, not 1.3 million at best.
