The initial sales of Final Fantasy VII Remake turned out to be more than that of Uncharted 4

Square Enix shipped 3.5 million copies of Final Fantasy VII Remake in the first three days of sales. It is not reported how many of them were for digital copies sold, and how many were for retail deliveries.

We’re proud to announce we shipped and digitally sold over 3.5M copies of #FinalFantasy VII Remake in 3 days! ?

All of us would like to raise our Buster Swords to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us during launch, we hope you’re all enjoying the game! #FF7R pic.twitter.com/4m93Op7O9I

Uncharted 4, the best-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive, sold 2.7 million copies.

Это много. Для сравнения, за первую неделю продаж God of War also had less at the start — 3.1 million copies. Only Marvel’s Spider-Man has comparable starting sales, it “made” 3.3 million copies in the first three days.

Thus, Final Fantasy VII Remake can be called one of the fastest—selling games of the current generation of PlayStation. The game has not yet been presented on other platforms and it is unknown whether it will be.

The successful launch of the Final Fantasy VII remake, as well as the equally impressive releases of the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes from Capcome, says that a wide gaming audience is not only ready for creative reinterpretations of the hits of the past, but is also waiting for them.
