Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Sales Half of Remake's; 'Underperforming' Despite Acclaim
-
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has sold about half as many copies as Final Fantasy 7 Remake in the same timeframe, according to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad.
-
Ahmad says Rebirth is "underperforming sales-wise" and will likely have a weaker tail than Remake.
-
The two releases aren't directly comparable - Remake benefited from lockdowns and being on PS4, while Rebirth is PS5-only.
-
Rebirth received critical acclaim in reviews, but some fans of the original may not have enjoyed the changes.
-
A trophy bug prevented players from platinuming digitally purchased copies of Rebirth, but it has now been patched.
