Well, PC did at least get FF7 Remake after a year and a half, and Rebirth is eligible for a PC port after 3 months. So they probably did miss out on some FF7 sales on PC with a late release (SteamSpy has FF7 Remake in the 500k-1m range and I think it would have done well over 1m had it not been a year a half late), but nowhere near as many sales as they are missing out on by waiting years and years for ports to Xbox and Nintendo. If Square does have to wait until like a year after the 3rd game has released before they can port the full trilogy to Xbox and Nintendo, we're probably looking at 2028 for the 3rd game's release on PS5/PS6 and 2029 before it can release on Xbox and Nintendo, so nearly a decade of waiting since Remake part 1 released in April 2020. |
I was surprised to hear that FF7 Remake had sold only 7 million copies from its original launch April 10, 2020 to September 15, 2023. And SE confirmed that this includes releases on PS4, PS5, PC (both EGS and Steam)
Almost 3 and a half years to reach that sales figure. You'd think a title of this magnitude would have at least reached 10 million within the first couple of years. With that in mind, an extra 1-2 million in sales on Xbox would certainly not have been unwelcomed 
It'll be interesting to see how Rebirth holds up.
