Over 1.3 billion of it is F2P mobile downloads.
I did some digging a while back and 2011 was the last time Sega seems to have reported genuine sales for the franchise as a whole. It was at 70 million then. After that they started adding F29 mobile downloads to the total, which rapidly inflated the figure.
Interestingly they did report actual yearly software sales in 2021 and 2022. They shifted 4.4 million in FY 2021 and 5.8 million in FY 2022. If we run with those figures and assume a generous range of 5-10 million each year since 2011 then the series is likely around 120-170 million in sales.
