This is a great thread. FF7 vs. Ocarina has been the #1 rivalry since people started discussing video games on the internet.
Who will win?
Sales - Revelation. It's multiplat, day 1. There are some parts of the world where consoles have little to no presence and the PC is the primary platform in these places. We also can't really be certain what Switch 2's final install base will be since it's only been on the market for 1 year. Even if Switch 2 ends up beating the Switch 1's install base Ocarina will have to be an extremely leggy game to outsell Revelation.
Critics - It will be very close, but I think Ocarina will take it. The OG games rated as 92 (FF7) vs. 99 (Ocarina) on Metacritic. Both have universal acclaim, but critics obviously love Ocarina more. I do think the remake of Ocarina will lose a few points and Revelation will probably be close to a 92, but that will still put Ocarina ahead.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
