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

$70 is not the default on steam.  Square going $70 on steam, for an old game, that doesn't even run great was a poor strategy. 

Step 1 for success, know your target demographic. 

On Steam:

FF7 integrade, a ps4 game, is $10 more than Forbidden West, a ps5 game....  that is a poor strategy to win over a target audience.

Integrade is a PS5 upgrade with additional content. The additional 10 USD is less than what Playstation players paid to play it 

It was not an old game either. It was only one year old
