91% drop is pretty bad. I mean, that's pretty much 100% when you think about it. As in, nobody bought it.

If trend holds true. Then again, like stocks, past performance does not indicate future performance I'm sure 😆

True, but I think the main reason it took a deep dive was its exclusivity with the ps5. With the ps4 having a much larger player base they’re no longer able to rely on that.

We would’ve seen much higher numbers had the first one been released on all platforms and pc day one, ride that hype wave, ya know?

Games like this seem to have a much better outcome for Sony instead of square. They’re both hurting, even though Sony aided them with development of it and forespoken?

Ff13 and 15 were day 1 on all platforms , that also took a pretty much 90% dive second week. Just seems like par for the course no matter how many platforms it's on. However I do agree Switch port would help boost sales significantly considering Nintendo Land over there however that is going to take a hell of an optimization to get rebirth running on that obsolete hardware.
