Except the sales on PC weren't poor? If anything the baseline on the PS5 being low means it's very easy for things like PC and Switch 2 ports to meaningfully boost the end LTD run for a game like FF7 Rebirth. That extra 500k+ or whatever they will get from PC + another 500k+ from Switch 2 boosts the overall sales of the game significantly, whereas something like say Witcher 3 on Switch 1 which was successful is still only like 1.15-2 million copies sold against like 50 million copies total. And I think 500k+ is a bit of a conservative estimate too, Remake and Rebirth ports on Switch 2 in particular will do well in light of there not being a new Zelda game early in the Switch 2's product cycle IMO. |
Yeah. PlayTracker, which offers middle-ground estimates, has Remake at 1.5M and Rebirth at 700k+ on Steam already. The earlier is one of the best-selling FFs on the platform, and the latter is comparable to Clair Obscur at the moment despite a $25 higher pricetag. That's hardly poor. Sure, dev costs and all, but Sony already moneyhatted them in that regard. |
700k for a Game with production value, critical acclaim, marketing and award reception, a famous IP like Rebirth is not only poor, it's a disaster. Being compared to game from unknown 30 people studio like Clair Obscure says all I need to know lol
But guess anything can be consider good as long the expectations are low enough
