No.17 in the UK this week: 98%, S2/PS5 2% (physical)

Fairly expectable decline all things considered but certainly not the second wind some may have hoped for.

I expect the S2 version will probably go on to add an extra mil to lifetime sales when this year is wrapped up.

There's also a potential digital uplift that may happen on PSN/PC due to the Switch release but we won't get that data 

was right again; sales were going to plummet in my shop. I don't sell a huge number of them, as I've already said. Most players have already finished these games. The majority of my sales come from Final Fantasy fans. Who hasn't played it? It's rare. Don't forget that the PS4 came out a long time ago, and you can find the game used for less than €10. A lot of people buy used games to play them, and those copies aren't included in the sales figures.

Imagine if they put the whole game on cart how much better it would have done though.

It’ll definitely add a bit more than 1 million IMO. In the long-term, I’d imagine Switch 2 is where most sales will be coming from. Whatever is left LTD, take that figure minus the current figure and take 65% of that: this is what I expect Switch 2 to add to FFVII Intergrade’s lifetime numbers.

I have no idea what this means lol.

Based on Japanese numbers and UK chart position (No.2 during a quiet week), I wouldn't expect more than 500k from the launch globally, probs closer to 400k. Based on how the UK sales plummted it looks to be a regular front loaded JRPG launch, so I don't think its going to do much more then double It's initial launch. I'll be keeping an eye on Japanese week 2 though to see if its more stable.

If FFVII currently sits at e.g. 8mil and ends with 12mil LTD, the formula comes out to give 0.65x(12-8mil) = 2.6mil sales from Switch 2 alone. No idea how the legs will look, but based off the 7mil figure we already know from a few years back, I don’t suspect they are as weak as you may be led to believe.

The game stayed the number 1 game on the Switch 2 eShop for a good time. DQ7, however, reached number 2 for a day and then plummeted to outside of top 10, which is just sad. Granted, the base game and the Deluxe edition are being treated as separate entries, and both are in top 15, but still.

Based of what we actually know, they are weak. The game remake originally sold 3.5m in 3 days and took over 3 more years to double that number.

Switch 2 will be the majority of sales going forward as the PS versions have stopped selling/are 5 years old, I agree with that. Just not sure we'll be looking a large addition to its current 7.5-8m units.

The first game did good anyway even if it will bring only 500k. The game that need help seems to be Rebirth.

The first game is a big success. It was given away for free to PS Plus users only one year after its release, and still sold over 7 million units. It's one of the best selling JRPGs 

Rebirth I agree, it probably made some profit but the sales were well bellow expected
