Seems even the once biggest Japan seller has hit a new low. FF VI Rebirth wasn't enough to take the top spot, nor was it enough to take the bottom spot in FF releases. I blame the poor sales on the stupid name. Should have been called FF VI Remake part 2
Final Fantasy XVI for PlayStation 5 opened at 336,027 copies sold back in June 2023. And the original Final Fantasy VII Remake opened at 702,853 copies sold in April 2020—although that was to an install base of 9.1 million PlayStation 4s, versus today’s 5.3 million PlayStation 5s.
On the hardware side, the Switch family sold 62,531 units, the PlayStation 5 family sold 48,067 units, the Xbox Series family sold 2,351 units, and the PlayStation 4 family sold 1,722 units.
