I heard the sales drops only became noticable once Path of Radiance came out. The game was about 50-60$ at the time and not everyone could afford that much for a niche title. And then it became blatantly apparent once Radiant Dawn came out for the same gaudy price range and an even worse game in terms of content. Then Shadow Dragon came on and they were still reeling from the losses they incurred from Radiant Dawn. And FE12 sold so badly in Japan that they couldn't bother making an international release.
That's how FE: Awakening was FE's last gasp before it racked in an enormous amount of sales again.
I don't have any concrete numbers on hand for the series in whole, but later on I can look up individual sales and then compile them together using basic math.
Man, that's depressing. I'm glad that it'll continue. Infact, its one of the only franchises that Nintendo has made for the older audience. It would be awesome if it sold more than 10 million units.
