FF still at its core a story driven single-player gamer. It does not benefit from PC or Switch hardware advantages and the fandom has been always in Playstation. If Final Fantasy was appealing to PC gamers, PC gamers would have been buying Final Fantasy. It's clearly not the case looking at the weak sales of VII Remake
I already addressed at least twice in this thread Square needs to make the gameplay more appealing to PC demographic if they want to sell substantial amounts on PC. XVI will receive another lukewarm response on PC platforms because it's currently designed with older FF fanbase in mind (read Playstation players)
The way it goes FF will keep flopping and worse: This time without Sony pockets to cover development costs

FF7 remake launched late, was $70 and was a poor port (stuttering). Not sure I would read to much into sales. Sony has had some good success on PC. Not sure why Square can't.
And perhaps I am outlier. But I would pick up 16 and rebirth on steam... I just need a release.

Launch date is by no means a reason for such lower sales. 70 USD is the default price for AAA games and Square games rarely decrease in price except when they go on sale. The truth is the pool of people interested in FF outside Playstation is simply not big. If they were people would have been buying FF VII
