What remakes have actually sold close to their original?

There's little motivation for the creative people to re-release something that's already been done when it's just as almost just much work as creating something new, and generally less fun.

The only way I could see them doing it is if maybe, FFXV bombs from a sails standpoint. But there's little pressure at the moment. Their stock price has almost doubled in the last 6 months (mainly since FFXIV's release).

FFX HD and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD says hello though.

Besides they are slowly crawling closer to the idea of a remake or more presence of FFVII (i.e. the re-release on PC and via digital on PSN). Though I doubt that a remake for FFVII will be coming soon. A iOS port seems more likely at this point in time.

Those are still a lot less work and still use a lot of assets from the original games. They still lack shadows, and lots of PS3 generation features. The fan mods for FFVII is more work than what's been done in either of those games.

Ofcourse they could do those things in FFVII and call it a remake. But, that would be underwhelming imo, and not really benefit them much.
