No.17 in the UK this week: 98%, S2/PS5 2% (physical)

Fairly expectable decline all things considered but certainly not the second wind some may have hoped for.

I expect the S2 version will probably go on to add an extra mil to lifetime sales when this year is wrapped up.

There's also a potential digital uplift that may happen on PSN/PC due to the Switch release but we won't get that data 

It’ll definitely add a bit more than 1 million IMO. In the long-term, I’d imagine Switch 2 is where most sales will be coming from. Whatever is left LTD, take that figure minus the current figure and take 65% of that: this is what I expect Switch 2 to add to FFVII Intergrade’s lifetime numbers.

I have no idea what this means lol.

Based on Japanese numbers and UK chart position (No.2 during a quiet week), I wouldn't expect more than 500k from the launch globally, probs closer to 400k. Based on how the UK sales plummted it looks to be a regular front loaded JRPG launch, so I don't think its going to do much more then double It's initial launch. I'll be keeping an eye on Japanese week 2 though to see if its more stable.
