FF7 Rebirth has reportedly sold half what Remake did in the same timeframe

[Tober]

Remake fired up because of curiosity and it was covid times.

But honestly I don't think planning it as a trilogy and telling people beforehand was a smart move. Who really has the patience to buy a game now and wait for the finale to happen 8 years later?

In Movies this sometimes works. But a movie is 2-3 hour/ $10-15 dollar investment, not a 40 hours+ $70 one.
