Here is a link to the Famitsu sales for 2002 in Japan:

As you can see, the PS2 version of FF XI sold 150k copies in 2002, its debut year. It did not chart in the top 300 or 500 best-selling games any year after that.
If you look at the 2003, 2004, and 2007 charts, the FF XI expansions sold 132k, 129k, and 74k in their respective debut years, and did not chart after their debut years.
So the PS2 version of FF XI, plus its expansions, likely sold about 500k total in Japan. Assuming that many of the expansion sales were to repeat buyers, the game probably moved no more than 250k PS2s in Japan.
