The publisher revealed that the Final Fantasy series has sold over 85 million games in the series’ lifetime, which began with Final Fantasy 1, released on the NES in 1987.
Square Enix also revealed that Dragon Quest lifetime sales have reached 50 million copies, the newly acquired Lara Croft series has sold 30 million in its lifetime, while the Hitman series have sales of 8 million units.
