Rare to see more PS5 than Switch games in the top 5.

ravens52444d ago

Oh me oh my FF7 Rebirth is selling 🙈😂

Nyxus444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

It also beat Dragon's Dogma 2 in the first two weeks of their release in Europe: https://www.gamesindustry.b...

And that was multiplatform too.

Barlos443d ago

Considering it's not even a next gen game! According to Obscure Observer, it's not next gen if it's not UE5

repsahj444d ago

Glad to see a very worthy game is selling well. Congratulations FF7 Rebirth.

shinoff2183444d ago

Best ff game in a very long time.

CrimsonWing69444d ago

What’s the total I want to know? Like it could be slow sales for that month. I’m hoping it’s total is better than FF16.

Nyxus444d ago

Rebirth sold 310,596 copies. Other notable games that came out in that period: Princess Peach Showtime! (104,820 copies), Rise of the Ronin (84,785 copies), Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5 version) (77,764 copies) and Unicorn Overlord (Switch version) (61,954 copies). Of course these are physical copies only, which is always the case with Famitsu sales.

CrimsonWing69444d ago

Sorry I meant subtotal globally. I’m hoping it did more than 3 mill. I want this to be a success so Square doesn’t say, “Well, we spent all this money to make an amazing game and nobody bought it, so we won’t do that again.”

Nyxus444d ago

Yeah it looks like it did well worldwide, at least the charts that I've seen (Europe, UK, US). And also the PlayStation Store download charts. But they haven't announced any hard numbers yet.

shinoff2183444d ago

Is that adding in the double pack

Nyxus444d ago

@ shinoff: the double pack was digital only right? So no, it isn't included in those numbers.

Hoping FFXVI sold less is kinda pathetic. They already disbanded the FFXVI team to other projects and Square are working on the Rebirth follow up. Just celebrate Rebirth.

XVI has a 2023 total of 429k. Keep seething till Rebirth gets there.

CrimsonWing69444d ago

Simmer down, bud. It’s ok to not like FF16 and hope an entry you liked did better. We’re in a comment section discussing sales for Rebirth. If these kind of comments trigger you, you’re more than welcome to ignore them.

shinoff2183444d ago

Because 16 was trash. We don't want sqaure to do that again.

shinoff2183444d ago

It is. No one is taking into account that the double pack was eating up sales also. So you gotta combine those. I seen a reddit thread yesterday were dude broke it all down. Rebirthbis killing it despite what some would have you believe.

VersusDMC444d ago

Some dude on reddit...100% confirmed. 🙃

Right now in Japan Rebirth hasn't sold more than XVI and also sold worse on launch. Because we are talking about Japanese sales here...

Nyxus444d ago

@ VersusDMC: We still don't know how it did with digital included though.

VersusDMC444d ago

@Nyxus

I know. I am just comenting on the famitsu numbers. Which are fact. Not speculating on numbers we don't know and state Rebirth sold more FFXVI.

I don't care if it does as i like both and even prefer Rebirth but when the FXVI trolls come out on every Rebirth article i like to give them some facts.

Plague-Doctor27443d ago

According to Ampere, which tracks MAU, it had a daily peak user count of 2.21 million. So it's probably over 3 million by this point

Babadook7443d ago

It will easily beat FF 16. As FF16 didn't continue to sell as strong after the initial week.

Rise of the Ronin, Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord are all fantastic games that I would recommend to anyone one.

Don't listen to the BS about Ronin it's fantastic.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is Slow, Silly, and Bloated…and I Love It

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "Despite its bloated open world, ridiculous number of mini-games, and questionable narrative sensibilities that can oftentimes be at odds with itself in regards to tone, there's no denying the amount of love Square Enix has injected into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. A love that, though at times can lead to unnecessary padding, manages to keep a sense of wonder."

Agree... the pacing is awful, far too many mini games, questionable narrative choices... amazing game, loved it.

Chard1d 12h ago

Can’t you just skip the mini games though?

Hypnofear1d 7h ago

No, quite a lot of them have been integrated into the actual campaign now.

MrNinosan14h ago

Yes, there is only once, maybe twice a mini game is "forced" on you.

CrimsonWing6913h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Yes you can and it’s ridiculous this keeps becoming a point of criticism. Ever played a Yakuza game? When’s the last time you heard there’s too many mini-games and it’s a valid complaint because unique gear is locked behind acing them?

This game has easily been a standout for me this gen and I loved every minute of it.

ZeekQuattro1d 3h ago

Opposite for me. It was the least enjoyable for me outof the four games. Still haven't beat it and I don't know if I will bother at this point.

ZeekQuattro6h ago

Remake. Intergrade. Crisis Core. Rebirth.

i mean, weve been joking about this for a while now haha

they're gonna resell this trilogy for the next 20 years ha

but i wonder ... remake and rebirth already had to cut back on the psr4and ps5.

hows that gonna go on that inferior system?

andy8554d ago

Steam deck runs it ok and the switch 2 is more powerful (docked]. Handheld mode will be the interesting one

PRIMORDUS54d ago

No physical release GTFO. This game deserves to be in your collection, not some digital shit.

raWfodog53d ago

I can definitely see them offering a boxed collection of the entire trilogy after it’s completed. Or at least it would be a smart thing to do if Square wanted to bring in more money.
