FF7 Rebirth trailing Behind Remake Launch Numbers!

It's a phenomenal game. Would be sad if word of mouth doesn't help it pass 10 million eventually. They better port it to Switch 2 not long after launch, and continue making quality content until the IP returns to growth.

Final Fantasy used to be bigger than any Capcom title. Nowadays Capcom shits more successful games left right and centre and at a higher rate. FFXIV is the exception.

They already confirmed the current plan is to keep the FF7 Remake series console exclusive to PlayStation. There's little chance that changes in the next year.

And even if it wasn't, how is Switch 2 going to run FF7 Rebirth? That would guarantee Switch 2 needs an SSD (I know Steam Deck does, but it's not a given yet for Switch 2) and the graphics would also have to be scaled down. 

I do think the console exclusivity deal and PC release window is hurting the sales, but we'll see. Part I of the Remake apparently hasn't hit 10 million units to date yet, but we'll see when Square Enix releases the numbers.
