Rebirth sales are tracking behind the similarly PS5-exclusive FF16 in the US, launch aligned, by a "double digit percentage".

It currently ranks 14th in the series in dollar sales in the US; FF7 Remake ranks second place.

Because square makes stupid decisions.  

SquareEnix Hate: The Thread.

Pointing out square treats PC gamers poorly, which has 100,000,000 users on steam alone, isn't hate.  It is the truth.  

Honestly it tracking behind FF16 makes sense. It's a weirdly branded (Rebirth) middle part of a trilogy of remakes where the novelty itch was scratched with the first entry. I think it's time for people to accept the fate of the latter 2 entries. The third though I expect to be a bit bigger but still a 5m kinda selling game on Playstation alone. With other platform ports and the trilogy packaged as one game down the line, I hope it will benefit from some decent legacy sales in the second of the decade. 

Financially though, the game has a relatively short developement time compared to most recent sequels. Combined with Sonys money hat, I think it'll be profitable but well below the profits the franchise has the potential for. 

Let's hope it gets a sales boost when it wins Game of the Year ;)

Speaking of Square making poor decisions, they recently took a $140 million hit in content abandonment losses

I think the economy is a huge factor here. 70-80 bucks or euros for a game is a pretty tall order for many right now and there are a lot of good games out there and decisions to be made. Some people will wait until they can get the whole story of FF7 for the price of one part. I don't have the patience for that.
