Piecing together the scant info we have in the absence of any SE press release, it would seem Rebirth debuted around 2.5 million sales, the same as Dragon's Dogma 2. Of course, FF games don't have great legs while Capcom games generally do.

I wonder what that will mean for Part 3 since that should reasonably be expected to debut even lower than Rebirth. They'll 100% still finish the trilogy but some budget cuts might be in the cards if they don't get another exclusivity deal.

Not only does Final Fantasy not have great legs, it also doesn't have a stellar record in regards to sequels. 13 series as an example; Each installment sold half as much as the previous. Outside of being Final Fantasy 7, I don't think anybody should have had any expectation that all installments were going to doing to do 5mill+.  Part 3 should be relatively less expensive and shorter as the there are not many locations to add and that's if they were not written out. 

If budgets cuts means less fluff and a tighter experience then I would be for it.
