Switch shortage really did a number on their weekly sales.

It's rare to see a 3rd party game selling better on switch than on ps4, even if install base is bigger. Playstation is a safe place for japanese developers thanks to its worldwide reach.

Hope Atlus continues to support big playstation.

Thought that Persona 5 NSW would demolish PS4 version

 

[Vawn]

Crazy how a PS4 remaster of a PS4 game is doing so well. I loved Persona 5, but I don't feel the need to buy this version again for the same console.

Now, if they would bring it to Switch it would be a day one purchase.
