The confirmation page reads (via Google Translate): «Since its first release in 1987, the legendary role-playing game „Final Fantasy“ series boasts over 180 million shipments and downloads worldwide.»
This is an updated stat, which last sat at 173 million in March 2022.

It also means the entire Final Fantasy franchise has sold just as well as Grand Theft Auto V!
