btw I wonder if the 7 million digital copies sold includes PS+ redemptions. It basically means at least 10 million copies sold overall when including physical, which is pretty decent. I remember in 2020 there was some concern over whether it would sell enough given the nostalgia purists/haters trying to destroy the game's reputation, glad the game's high quality won out.

Wasn't it said not to long ago by someone who supposedly knew or knows an insider that they stated it was going to get harder for them to break up exclusivity deals between Square and Playstation?

Nah, this is just a press release to remind Sony has a deal with Square Enix for the three FFVIIR games and that the 2nd one will release soon.

The 3 games deal was signed before announcing the first one, it isn't something new.

No, copies sold doesn't include PS+ downloads. It means copies sold.

PS+ is a game rental subscription. You don't buy a game when you download it from PS+: you lose it if don't renew the subscription until you resubscribe again.

Seriously, this isn't Xbox levels of manipulation and lies.
