Forums - Sales - FF7 Remake apparently off to a strong start on Switch 2

Very curious to see how it does in Japan. Could easily go either way there.

Debuted at #2 in the UK last week.

This is quite big for such an old title. It should clear at least 1 million mark worldwide on Switch 2



As a Nintendo fan, it was a symbolic moment getting the original FF7 on Switch. The same can be said about this release; getting newer FF games on a Nintendo console.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Alan Wake 2 is still not on Steam? Man that sucks.

Nope.  The remaster of the original isn't either.  Epic paid for exclusivity and the game is selling under expectations.  Could kill the franchise.

Epic didn’t pay for Exclusivity. Epic published both games, and covered the entire developmental costs. The game might literally not exist without them. Microsoft had exclusive publishing rights for a decade and would not greenlight AWII.

Fair, but even still, they are missing out on sales.  I mean Sony published games are on Steam.  More platforms = more sales.  I don't think Epic will finance round 3 for AW, which is a shame.  I hear it is a good series.

WOW Final Fantasy VII finally got remade and on a Nintendo platform!!!!


This is what my X feed looks like, feels like this game just launched for the first time

A strong indicator for the US and Japan. Not a surprise but shocking Xbox couldn't muster even a percent of sales. Of course sales there will be more digitally driven but still... Maybe no stores stocked the physical Xbox edition. 

Edit: Yeah Xbox is a digital only release. Even with Xbox's digital leaning a bit of a surprise

Also curious whether the game got a boost on Playstation (digitally)

Oh wow I didn't realize that.
