PS3 hardware boost:

NA: ~~60K + 80K = 140K~~ 100K
EU: ~~80K + 110K = 190K~~ 140K
JAP: ~~10K + 50K = 60K~~ 50K
---------------
total = ~~150K + 240K =~~ ~~390K~~ 290K

Fixed.

It's going to sell 1 million(combined in EU/US) easily in first week. If it doesn't i would be very surprised. Don't know about JPN but i doubt it will even reach 1 million in it's lifetime.
