It currently ranks 14th in the series in dollar sales in the US; FF7 Remake ranks second place. |
Honestly it tracking behind FF16 makes sense. It's a weirdly branded (Rebirth) middle part of a trilogy of remakes where the novelty itch was scratched with the first entry. I think it's time for people to accept the fate of the latter 2 entries. The third though I expect to be a bit bigger but still a 5m kinda selling game on Playstation alone. With other platform ports and the trilogy packaged as one game down the line, I hope it will benefit from some decent legacy sales in the second of the decade.
Financially though, the game has a relatively short developement time compared to most recent sequels. Combined with Sonys money hat, I think it'll be profitable but well below the profits the franchise has the potential for.
