Right, done some digging and here is the info I have found. Thus far FFX has sold 4 million copies worldwide. This information is from The GIA web-site and you can find the article here.

Now working on the assumption that each copy of FFX retails for $40, this means FFX will have generated $160 million worldwide. Once you taken into account development costs, distribution costs, retail outlets share and so on I'll bet there won't be much of that $160 million left!

We can probably expect Europe to stick maybe another 2 million units sold on top of that. But it's clear it will never get anywhere near billions of units sold or revenue.
