6 Million combined were their expectations. It is currently around 5 combined. 2 million in Japan was their expectations, and it is currenlty at 1.91 Million.
People will say their expectations was to outsell FF7 which was not true. it was a hope. (beings that's their highest selling game of all time), they thought they created something that had a chance at outselling seven, but obviously it won't do that.
Now it still has a fairly good chance of selling 6mil. As well as, I don't know if their going to do re-releases of FFXIII international in japan which usually gets them .5 mill.
So It's likely to perform at the lower end of their expectations. Rather than the high (FF7 sales +) :D
Edit:
I was wrong, the expectation was ship 6 million not sell which obviously increases the chances even more of it achieving expectations
