Here is a report of Square-Enix Financial standings from the past 9 months starting from April 2007. (No direct sales figures on specific products, just totals)
First off, the juicy stuff;
This is slightly less that in 2006 where income was 19,656 million Yen ($185m) compared to this years 17,909 million Yen ($168m).
They also gave out information about sales in all regions.
They also mentioned that the US was biggest in NA and the UK was prominent in the EU. However, both North America and Europe made less than in 2007 than the previous year. In 2006, total income for NA was 5,509 million Yen ($51m) compared to 1,905 million Yen ($17m) this year. Total income for the EU was 817 million Yen ($8m/£4m) in 2006, this year it was 637 million Yen ($7m/£3m)
In another PR statement, Square-Enix announced it was acquiring 5,000,000 of its own shares through late Jan to June 2008. Total acquisition will be 15 billion yen ($141m).
If I can recall, last year SE were making a killing of Online games, but now that seems to have changed. Also interesting to see Mobile takings the lowest, considering how President Yoichi Wada called for a shift to Mobile development a couple years ago.

rest of the world) earnings ratio is amazing, and telling at the same time. It's like I said before, while talking about Blue Dragon. For niche genres, demographics seems to be more important than just installed base. It'll be interesting to see the effect FFXIII and Vs has on PS3 sales in Japan, when they launch.
