Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Japan’s second biggest physical PS5 launch, behind Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has enjoyed the second-best week 1 sales of any physical PS5 game in Japan.
As reported by Famitsu, the game sold 262,656 copies in its first week, dominating the Japanese physical charts and outselling the second place game, Mario vs Donkey Kong, by more than 18 times.
However, it failed to better the first-week physical Japanese sales of Final Fantasy 16, which sold 336,027 copies when it was released in June 2023.
This likely won’t be considered a major failure, because as Japanese news account @Genki_JPN points out on X, it’s still the second-best physical launch for any PS5 game in Japan.
Indeed, it sold more than twice as many copies as the third-best physical launch, Armored Core 6, which sold around 115,000 copies in its first week.
