I noticed the same thing. The only thing I can think of is that this 1.3M sold is just clearance of existing stock. 10k is number of new orders retailers placed to Sony for the PSP. But just speculating

The complaint about UMD is that it's a format where they sell you movies, but you can't play it on TV. PSP has no TV out and no standalone players play UMD. The movies on UMD were also same price as DVDs but with lower quality.

People would not have minded if Sony came up with a proprietary format for games, but UMD is a power draining disc format which kills PSP's battery life and has slow access speed. If they came out with a format similar to MemorySticks, but not quite the same, people might have grumbled a bit but not really complained.
