Here are a few I know about
Settlers is reported to be over 2million copies sold.
Ticket to ride is over 320k sold.
Here are some figures for the hobby market:
"The premium does not seem to be a turnoff. Strong DVD board game sales are helping to fuel the whole board game category, which is a bright spot in the struggling toy industry. Year-to-date board game sales are $456.7 million, up 4.2% over the period last year, according to NPD. In 2003 board game sales climbed 2.3% over 2002 to $1.04 billion, while toy sales overall fell 3% to $20.7 billion. "
This is from this site:

The article is supposedly from 12/6/04 so I would assume that when it says year to date it must mean June 12th or Dec 6 and hte fiscal year starting in April or something...not sure. Either way this helps narrow the number.
Also here it has a figure:
