My post is a response to the tweet you posted framing FFVII as a modest success. And, mind you, that is a title that people have been clamoring to see a remake of for well over a decade. It's supposed to move consoles. And yet as of last Thursday, it has moved less than 320K physical copies while other majorly successful titles have strong physical sales in addition to their strong digital sales.

Me posting that tweet wasn't necessarily meant to say something like "see, look, its selling gangbusters!". More so showing that whatever is going on it isn't absolutely doom and gloom like some is trying to imply and thus everyone just needs to wait to see what square-enix post about it. For a game to be a consistent number 1 in their region when we all know the switch is the most dominate platform to game on over there and just counting disc sales when again we all know that digital purchasing is just increasing more and more each year means that while we don't know if the game is a smashing success, it also obviously isn't some total bomb. Its just.....existing, and we do know that at least when it comes to PSN sales rankings its been at the top or near the top of the lists for both the stand alone and the dual version with remake.

You also just said it yourself.....the majorly succesful titles you are posting about is already known to be successes because their digital sales numbers is out there. We know absolutely nothing about rebirth's digital sales so far other than "well, at least its been high on the PSN purchases list".
