It's all relative. We kind of already know its around 3.5-4m WW at least which is not bad but definitely not in line with expectations since the it's legs are essentially dead and its rarely charting.

Essentially SE needs to explore ways to reach new audiences with FF because the last 3 entries including VII Rebirth sell 70% of their sales week one and then fall off pretty hard.

I thihk is fine for a franchise which is growing and/or made on a budget, but FF games are not cheap and the audience is shrinking.

Multiplatform is one route but if the franchise is shrinking in the playstation echo-system whilst other IPs are growing, that painst a franchise specific problem.

I've yet to play FF16 as FF13 was a big dissapointment and whilst I liked FF15 it was clearly a hot unfinished mess on launch (when I played it, not gone back to the finished version), I can't imagine I'm alone with this kind of thinking.

As for FF7 I'm waiting until all 3 games are released to take the plunge then I'll play them all back to back.
