To get a better comparison, you should add release dates. FFXIII's push is hugely impressive, but it really needs to be noted it's happening in the holiday season too (which is also a major hardware driver).

japan doesn't celebrate xmas. it's not holiday until golden week or new year eve

yeah but they do give gifts or at least money on news years.  They celebrate xmas mostly for couples to have a romantic night.  There should really be no argument here though, look at Japan sales right now, they are like this every year.
