If NX has similar hardware to PS4 and XBox One then I think it could easily get a version of the remake, it will all really depend on what Nintendo's ability to sell games is.
NX is presumably getting Dragon Quest 11, so it wouldn't be a stretch for it to get a copy of this, assuming it's not a PS4 exclusive.

Just because it's not been stated yet that doesn't mean the Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn't a PS4 exclusive in some way, shape or form.
Maybe PS4 is the only console getting it and there will be a PC version too, Sony could have paid for console exclusivity. I'm pretty sure that back in the PS3 days the remake was supposed to be a full PS3 exclusive, unless any initial contract with Square is up that may have transferred over to PS4.


If they paid for FF7 console exclusivity, it would have been stated very LOUDLY and in no uncertain terms. You don't land an exclusive that huge and then just quietly not talk about it being exclusive. 

They would've mentioned it being exclusive 50000 times at E3 if it actually was exclusive. It's not. It will be on XBox One. And probably NX too. They clearly stated it's on PS4 first, which means it's coming to other platforms later. 


Perhaps contracts for a new deal are underway and Sony or SE can't talk about it yet. ;)

If you have a specific plan for how you want tackle marketing the game then yes you do wait to talk about things like exclusivity.

Lack of stating something doens't mean it's not happening, it's just an ambiguous thing right now and no one knows either way for sure.

Saying it's first on PS4 just means it's coming first to PS4, the exclusive part can still be announced later as Square and Sony talk about things more.

 

To say either way right now is just speculation, it's not clear that it's coming to XB1 or NX or even PC, it could happen, but the only thing that's guaranteed at this point is that it's coming to PS4, we'll see about the rest as and when marketing ramps up for the game.

Hell it could be the case that PS4 gets it for an entire generation and then it'll be re-released on PS5 when that comes out. It could quite easily be a Playstation home console exclusive, using the term "first" doesn't imply that the second platform will go outside of the Playstation ecosystem.
