Overview

• Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's launch week sales in Japan were significantly lower than those of Final Fantasy 16, despite leading the sales charts.
• The game's status as the second chapter in a planned trilogy and the PS5's lower install base are among the factors contributing to lower sales figures.
• Square Enix's decision to bundle FF7 Remake with digital purchases of FF7 Rebirth could mean actual sales figures are higher than reported.
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth confirmed as PlayStation console exclusives, with no plans for Xbox releases.
• The development of FF7 Rebirth exclusively for PS5 allowed for a seamless open world and may have contributed to its critical acclaim.
