RE8 PS5 is gone from the Top 30 so it looks like it won't be a mainstay for the system in the charts long term, Guilty Gear will probably be gone next week too.
Japanese PS gamers still mostly sticking with their PS4 games for now.

XBS up over 400% wow!!

also seems we were missing one genre tag on the last thread TBL or tabletop and board games.

Ratchet's first week sales are abysmal, its such a great franchise, what a damn waste

Switch sold way more than Switch Lite. If they care about portable only, just Lite model is enough.

This logic doesn't get you anywhere. The base system is a hybrid, it will always benefit and be distinct from a device (like Wii U) that can only be played at home. If someone play 95% portable they may still prefer the option to "Switch" lol. Better yet they might like the option of tabletop or the bigger screen. The portability of it is just one of the many, many  reasons why comparing FFVII intergrade sales to MK8 Switch is nonsensical. If anyone who owned the game on Wii U wanted to continue playing on Switch they have to buy a new copy, it's also a multiplayer game which means it has a longer shelf life in peoples homes. And this without touching on the fact that the audience Switch attracted largely did not own Wii U's.

But I feel like we're beating a dead horse here, so I will just concede....  FFVII intergrade is the biggest flop of the last decade. A new FF game opening to 21k is shocking, they should cancel part 2's Japanese release. Can we move on now? :) 

Edit: oopsie HoangNhatAnh, sorry I thought I was responding to someone else. This sentiment was not targeted at you... but it still applies to the topic lol

Except Switch price >>> Switch Lite price.

Not everyone is poor :p 

Seriously though, people like options and fearful of missing out. I buy games exclusive digital atm but I still paid extra for the Bluray PS5. I play my Switch 98% in docked mode but would still buy the hybrid over a cheaper Switch TV 

FFVII Re undeperformance on PS4 is a fact, but to somewhat extend this underperformance to PS5 version sales is far too much

The pool of PS5 owners who owned PS4 might be closer to 100%. If you offer your whole library for free your only reason to rebuy games you already own is for collective purposes, which is absolutely the case here 

So any PS5 game that is free delivered from PS4 isn't expected to sell at all, except for collectors or for the very small non-PS4 owners who have a PS5

All comparisons for non free delivered games are ultimely pointless, unless the system is fully BC. If you want a fairer comparison I think SMT Devil Survivor is the way to go

DS version sold 310k, 3DS version sold 4 years later sold 120k. Need to point however to play additional content you really needed to buy the 3DS version, for FF VII you can skip it and just buy the DLC

If some day Sony reveal the DLC sales numbers for 7RE and they are abysmally, then I would be worried, until there it's hard to be concerned with people choosing to not buying a game again after just 1 year

Final Fantasy doesn't have long legs usually, most people buy it early on, these sales are not surprising at all, especially considering the free upgrade.

People who expected the game to sell 10-15mil WW have no idea how these games actually sell nowadays. The original FF7 didn't sell 15mil with all skus combined.

In Japan the game didn't underperform either, the franchise was in decline for 15 years already. People who expected the game to be that popular WW overestimated it because they didn't realise they're in an internet bubble on a small forum where most people are enthusiasts.

Square Enix had realistic expectation though and they were happy with 5mil.

I don't get why people here are suprised GBG outsold FF7R Intergrade. There is a free upgrade, most people who wanted to play it already did, PS5 software sales are abysmal and preorders for GBG were big. Did anyone here expect FF7RI to sell 100k at launch?
