Its the biggest from the publishers which provide him with digital data (which is nearly all the major ones).How does he know it's the biggest game release so far when he admits he didn't have figures for other games![]()
Yup, first thing I thought of.Surprised it's only narrowly ahead of rebirth considering it was multiplat. Really impressive for rebirth being on one platform.
Underperformed, yeah. Does this thread prove otherwise to you?Wasn't there a sales thread where people were claiming Rebirth bombed?
I thought Final Fantasy was behemoth IP and Dragons Dogma had uphill battle being a niche title.Hell of a job by FF7Re basically selling equal with such a huge multiplat release by Capcom.
Underperformed compared to what? If the biggest UK launch (that is also multiplatform) sold "narrowly ahead" of a game that released on a single platform, that seems like good news for said game to me.Underperformed, yeah. Does this thread prove otherwise to you?
Compared to FF7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16. These discussions are more nuanced than “it’s number 2 in the UK!”Underperformed compared to what?

A direct sequel selling less than the first game (in Japan) is hardly a nuanced discussion.Compared to FF7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16. These discussions are more nuanced than “it’s number 2 in the UK!”
We have actual numbers for Japan so that’s the best market to discuss. However it appears to be underperforming in all markets. Mat Pascal didn’t even want to elaborate on it because FF fans take it personally. He left it at, it didn’t do as well as FF Remake. Still waiting for the PR from Square Enix on how much it sold globally. We might be waiting until their next investor call.A direct sequel selling less than the first game (in Japan) is hardly a nuanced discussion.
Really? I am actually surprised it managed to get so high in the charts in the first place considering that the first DD is a niche cult hit. Beating out a FF title is pretty impressive.Surprised it's only narrowly ahead of rebirth considering it was multiplat. Really impressive for rebirth being on one platform.
Indeed, official numbers would be the best thing. Unfortunately, we can only discuss what we're given, thus making this thread quite interesting in regards to Rebirth sales even though it doesn't mention specific numbers.We have actual numbers for Japan so that’s the best market to discuss.

Niche cult hit? Not even including 2 it had sold more than 8.1M units.Really? I am actually surprised it managed to get so high in the charts in the first place considering that the first DD is a niche cult hit. Beating out a FF title is pretty impressive.
Dragon's Nichema.Niche cult hit? Not even including 2 it had sold more than 8.1M units.
DD had quite the long legs, especially on Steam. But that was mostly because of word of mouth.Niche cult hit? Not even including 2 it had sold more than 8.1M units.
Maybe on releases it wasn't appreciated but it did very well sale wise and dd2 was hyped to the moon.Really? I am actually surprised it managed to get so high in the charts in the first place considering that the first DD is a niche cult hit. Beating out a FF title is pretty impressive.
That excuse is not for sale. I might put it later on Ebay, so I can afford all the DD2 DLC.Maybe on releases it wasn't appreciated but it did very well sale wise and dd2 was hyped to the moon.
I dont buy the excuse of "niche cult hit".

Tables have turned?
Its a JRPG if we take RPG from japan side term. Its not looking like usual JRPG outside, however. but still have japanese taste of video game, which is still the best for me.Impressive I think, considering what we think FF7 Rebirth sold. Considering DD2 will probably have better legs than FF7 because it's not a JRPG then yeah congratulations Capcom.
