DQIX official launch price = 5980 yen (66.04$)
FFXIII official launch price = 9200 yen (101.6$)
DQIX: 2,338,211 x 66.04 = 154.42milj$
FFXIII: 1,516,532 x 101.6 = 154.08milj$
So yes revenue is pretty close but DQIX cost a lot less develop than FFXIII so by profits DQIX made more. Good numbers for FFXIII but DQIX surely made more profits for S-E.
