It kinda feels like yesterday when FFVII dominated headlines and changed the course of gaming history and giving Sony the edge that Nintendo wouldn’t be able to recover from until the Wii/DS and then later the Switch.

Rebirth did fine for its launch week, but it’s a far cry from the franchise’s prime years in Japan. Not to mention that it didn’t really push PS5 consoles and the Switch remains dominant even in its 8th year. This might have been PS5’s best shot this year to gain momentum and outsell the Switch for the year for the first time in their head to head matchup since the PS5 launched. But alas, we got more questions than answers for PS and Final Fantasy in Japan this week.
