The back-and-forth between Electronic Arts and Take-Two is still going, and it'll continue until somebody gives in. During an annual stock conference by William Blair & Company, EA CEO John Riccitiello said that his company's on-going bid for Take-Two is not just about Grand Theft Auto IV.

“Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Reportedly Sold About Half of What FF7 Remake Did in the Same Timeframe”
Makes sense to me since the current PS5 base is about half of what the PS4 base was when FFVII Remake released.
There were about 113 million PS4’s in consumers hands worldwide in 2020 when FFVII Remake was released (towards the beginning of COVID lockdown no less).
PS5 sales currently sits at about half of that (50-something million. We are not in COVID lockdown so many people are not as bored as they were 4 years ago and not in a rush to buy every video game coming out at release. Some PS4 owners may not have upgraded to PS5 yet and therefore can’t buy the sequel yet. And, of course, some who played Remake just might not be interested in Rebirth.
It just seems pretty disingenuous for an analyst to ‘analyze’ a situation when there are so many mitigating and unequal factors involved.
Unfortunate but it's the reality of sequels. And I simply just don't hear much people talk about rebirth and even remake as these titles just seem too hard to get into with many newcomers and old fans that are upset with the many changes.
well, according to some other reports, it had 2.1 mio. players in the first week.
so, who to believe now.
Yeah guys....they wanna kill all Take-Twos games....not just GTA
Yeah, we know this already.
yeah, they don't just want GTA. They want MLB so they can hold the exclusive rights to ALL Major League SPORTS games. And probably butcher Bioshock and dump Midnight Club in the process... EA, give up, worry about your own crappy games.
No... You're bidding just for greed.
