Here is how it works out, and it makes a bit of sense. VII outsold VIII which outsold IX. Then X out sells IX, but less than VII, and about even with VIII. X also outsells X-2 which outsells XII. What that means in a more understandable fashion is that the sales record is set by the first of the series and then it goes down. However, the first one of the series has sold less than the first of the previous series. The comparable games 2 and 3 have also sold less on later systems rather than earlier. This shows a general trend of a slowly waning FF crowd world wide, and a slight slowing of it in Japan.
