Outselling likely ffxvi day one both pc and ps5 combined too right?
What about ff7 remake or rebirth?
If that’s the case too then I wonder how square just still can’t see that obviously gamers are fine with turn based combat - just make it mad good.
Sakaguchis new game coming for example would be wonderful it had a budget more than $20. Having square money and visuals but the talent of him or atlus, is a recipe for success.

#3 top seller on Steam, already hit around 62,000 concurrent users (nearly 100 Concords). I’m really liking this “every Japanese game comes out on PC” era.

SEGA? SEGA have nothing to do with Atlus being damn good.
This is like saying Microsoft is back after CoD sucess.

Please, don’t write Sega with all caps. It signifies them more than they deserve.

Already? Lol that's nice, SMT V took a while to sell that much.
Hope this turns into a new IP, I'm so much more into fantasy stuff than the highschool stuff of Persona.
Now all I need is an SMT VI announcement and for it to be a return to the cyberpunk style of II and IV.

SEGA and XBox are back #HappyDays LOL
To be serious well done SEGA. SEGA output is up there with Capcom's of late. Looking forward to Jet Set Radio 'like old times'

Still here.
Come back when it has sold 4 million as claimed.
Also I was talking about 1 million on PC then forgotten in a month.
These figures are all Platforms and it includes shipped not sold through.

This couldn’t have been possible without exquisite marketing from Xbox.

You and me both. I much prefer IV over V. Something about IV is just magical to me.Now all I need is an SMT VI announcement and for it to be a return to the cyberpunk style of II and IV.

No no no. They would say “we are very satisfied with the strong sales of this title.”
And then Follow up 6 months later by saying “it was a failure and missed projections”

I love that game too! For me, it's the setting. Probably my favorite in all videogames, it's just so cool and original.
Hope we get an SMT IV remake some day, fixing the difficulty curve and fully realizing Kaneko's vision of the game's world and story.

4 classics JRPG in a years.
4 million sellers.
Probably best publisher of the year on Metacritic for the third time.
A load of revivals incoming with a magnificent Shinobi.
Fucking Alien Isolation 2.
Sega is definitely dead.

Stupid AI human party is big part of that, they using wrong skill can screw you over specially with Smirk mechanic.

Haha yeah, that game mechanic was busted. I still remember all the memes about Walter casting Agi during the minotaur bossfight and how that could mean a game over.
But I was referring more to the overall difficulty of the game. Naraku is a great experience but once you reach Tokyo it starts being way too easy. IV: A was much better balanced, too bad the writting of that game sucks imo.

Make that over 1 million+1 when I buy it this weekend.

I agree in that sense SMTV did much better job keeping up the difficulty, especially the Vengeance did smart balancing.
With the absurd word of mouth it has? I expect sales to accelerate now.

Yeah... Something must have go wrong with SMT IV's development, but given how well done and well balanced V is, I have great expectations for the next entry.
Just hope we don't have to wait 10 years for it to happen.

Well, according to most publishers...that is underperforming and a flop.
Hopefully they had their expectations in check.

It's amazing when you make titles multi-platform they tend to have a better chance of success. .....and build up a fan base for future titles.

More than that.
The 200 new Atlus employees were hired with Sega's money, Atlus is litteraly now within the same building as AM2, RGG Studios, creating exchanges, discussions, all using Sega's infrastructures, probably some tech as well. (Even with a no limit freedom, Atlus couldn't have hired so much people in the last ten years without Sega as an airbag...)
Same shit with Alien Isolation 2, Creative Assembly is currently hiring with Sega's money...

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of sales are on Playstation.
It's definitely not Xbox.

Oh right, the company that used to release their games several years later in the US, and not translate anything in Europe... when the games were actually released at all.
You can thank SEGA for kicking Atlus in the balls and forcing them into the modern era of releasing games.

Sure SEGA made release their games at more platforms and much closer to western release date but this is pure Atlus game, when good game comes credit should go to devs not publishers.
It’s like crediting Activision for Sekiro’s success.

Unicorn Overlord was of course developed by Vanillaware, but it's still an Atlus published title.
His post is even more hilarious considering Atlus had its biggest ever growth in a franchise with Persona 5. As a PS exclusive.

Sega is the reason the idiots at Atlus released this day one on PC.

"Total sales" means just PC? And who claimed this game would sell 4 million? I said Persona 5 "eventually sold around 4 million". Never said Metaphor would do that.

Is good fo Atlus releasing games on PC, but their sucess have nothing to do with that decission at all.
Atlus make good games, SEGA did two good movies buying and not messing up Atlus after the acquisition. Nothing more.

Sega is the publisher. They're acting like a good publisher. They're getting past games on Gamepass, they're getting it on PC, they're getting simultaneous worldwide releases, they're growing the audience. That's what they should be doing. Sega is doing the same thing with Yakuza and its working for them. Show new audiences the games and make it widely available. They're now getting that Amazon Yakuza show ready, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Persona doing something similar.

Bad example, Sekiro was developped and published by From Software in japan... Activision is for worldwide release.
On the other hand Sega is the reason why Atlus tripled its staff and allowed to fund bigger productions like Metaphor.
Atlus is part of Sega enterprise.
Atlus works in Sega's building with the AMs, RGG...
Atlus uses Sega infrastructures like AM2 or RGG.
Cannot say the same with Activision and From Software...

I’d like to thank Sega for single-handedly creating Metaphor (and the Persona series) and saving the JRPG genre. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
IMO it’s time for Sega to make a Dreamcast 2 and make all future Atlus titles exclusive. Metaphor 2 could easily move 6 million this way.

It isn't even remotely close to crediting Activision for Sekiro. Because Atlus are part of SEGA. Atlus are SEGA.

Awesome, but i will wait for a sale. Already have my two ps5 games I am playing (sh2 and astrobot)
Hell I still need to get past Digital Devil Saga, Devil survivor 2, on PS2 (just got the saga) and Persona 5.
Also SMT5v For switch.
I will be getting Y's X as my next game to play as I can play that on the switch. Really hoping this comes to Switch 2.
