Entire FF7 Remake I, II, AND III on Switch 2.
Suck it to the haters who said this wouldn't happen.
I'm really interested to see them on Switch 2
When it doesn't sell well people will finally understand the sales issue was not exclusivity, but rather gameplay and game design

Say bye bye to FF exclusivity period, that shit is over and not worth discussing. FF7 Remake/Rebirth Producer couldn't stop gushing over being back on a Nintendo system throughout that video.
The damage to the exclusivity strategy that SE used to have is already done. With no new Zelda game in the Switch 2 first year (most likely) games like FF7 Remake and Elden Ring port are going to eat well, there's going to be a big audience wanting big fantasy.

As stated I'm happy for the multiplat. Too many years reading again and again excuses of how timed exclusivity was killing FF. Now people will understand timed exclusivity was never an issue
Poor PC sales already support this, but now we will confirm with all evidence needed

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.
He needs to know that games on Game Key Cards don't really count as part of the Switch 2's library. Please bring all 3 games with each being fully available on a cartridge.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
My Threads:
Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade
Switch Will Be #1 All Time
Zelda Will Outsell Mario (Achieved)
How Much Will MH Rise sell?
My Bet With Metallox
People who want games on a full cartridge ... that's fine, but you should also pay more for that, simple as that.
A physical 64-128GB cartridge + physical packaging + shipping cost + retailer's cut is easily $10-$15 extra versus a digital release, you can't expect a publisher to just eat that cost.

The PC sales were good for XV. Average for VII Remake and poor for both Rebirth and XVI
The results are obvious. PC gamers gave the IP a chance twice, for both the remake of VII and the new mainline entry (XV). But neither resonated with the audiences enough for a second purchase
If the biggest audience in the world on PC couldn't help here I don't see why Nintendo gamers (who in majority already play on PC, Xbox and Playstation too) will make any relevant difference
At best it will recover some Japanese sales but that's all

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.
