Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Sales Trail Behind FF16 in Japan, Remains PlayStation Exclusive

Despite leading sales charts, FF7 Rebirth's launch week figures fall short of expectations and predecessor's performance, underscoring its PlayStation exclusivity.

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.
