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

Crisis Core Reunion released on all platforms simultaneously. The Switch version sold terribly, even losing to Xbox in some regions iirc.

Compared to that, this game opened well considering it's a late port on a small install base. But as always, I wish we knew how much of these initial sales were from hardcore fans double-dipping. Cheap launch price, portability, and being a very late port encourage double-dipping.

As for how much it sold... I would guess it was at around 9 million before the Swirch 2 and Xbox release when the Twin Pack is accounted for. This was actually how I got Remake; I orignally intended to buy all three games when the 3rd one is out, but the Twin Pack deal changed my mind. I wonder if there will be a Triple Pack preorder with all three games included for the price of one.

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

Yep, exactly. I hope SE have it ready for September. I don't expect much simply for the same reasons Rebirth underperformed on Playstation, but the sooner they can get it onto Xbox/Switch2, the more likely fans of part 1 are to follow up on their purchase. 

Then finally the trilogy should be able to wrap up fall 2027

Yes. Square never gave any numbers for Rebirth. I think many people were a little disappointed by part. 1 so they didn't take part. 2

They really should have done a remake in one game.

Yeah I don't remember seeing any actual numbers for Rebirth, though it was reported shortly after launch that it was selling about half as well as Remake:
