It can be applied but you have to look at them differently. The Wii has passed the GC lifetime totals in Europe. This means there is a larger potential audience for a game. While I don't disagree with your predictions, I do not think 800k is out of the question. The old numbers should be seen less as lifetme sales caps, and more as a start for guessing how many the game will sell lifetime.
And FF will not make 3.8 million. The record was not set by FF8 and it had 2.3ish million launch day in Japan alone. Those numbers have gotten smaller with each release and will probably be around 1.5 million tops. Japan has never seen a ressurgence for launch day FF sales with a new system and have been declining every iteration since 8. I do look forward to controlling your avatar for a month (or was it a week?) though. I think it will be a Culdcept Saga or Halo 3 avatar.
