Nice to see great titles like Granblue Fantasy Relink, Helldivers 2, Tekken 8 and Persona 3 Reload selling millions. I hope FFVII Rebirth wil also deliver for the quality.
Tottaly agree with you on that one
It took under 3 weeks to achieve 2 million units sold.
Street Fighter 6 needed a bit more than 1 month and Tekken 7 did it in a bit more than 2 months.
Yet, I'm still seeing a lot of people saying that it bombed and it needed to release on the hybrid system to succeed.
Good on Bamco for making all the positive changes to achieve this.
