With how Japan has adopted handhelds and seemingly neglected home consoles, I think it's unfair to really compare the sales of previous games to this one in Japan. I think it's pretty much a common trend across all Japanese franchises to lose sales in Japan when exclusive to home consoles, compared to sales from last gen (e.g. Yakuza, Star Ocean, Metal Gear Solid). This is further exhaggerated by Ps2 vs Ps3 install base.
Furthermore I'd put it forward that FFXIII was designed for a more western audience, possibly losing its appeal to the Japanese audience? I've not played it yet so I've no idea if thats true but it seems to be the direction SE is headed nowadays >_>.
But yeah, if your logic were to be used across the bored, then MGS, Yakuza, Star Ocean etc would all be deemed flops. At least in Japan.
