Sega Sammy has released the company’s Fiscal Year Ending March 2024 (consisting of April 2023 to March 2024) Q4 financial results today. As with previous earnings reports, Sega has outlined the sales of their tentpole series, including Persona.

According to the financial results, the Persona series sold approximately 2.39 million units worldwide (including digital and physical sales) in January, February, and March 2024. This is in large part due to the release of Persona 3 Reload on February 2nd, which was the fastest selling Atlus title in the company’s history.

This makes for a total of 5.06 million copies sold of the Persona series in the Fiscal Year ended March 2024. 630k copies were sold between April and June 2023, 750k between July and September 2023, and 1.3 million sold between October and December 2023.

The Persona series has been experiencing a consistent level of growth year-to-year:

• April 2021 to March 2022: 1.3 million copies sold worldwide
• April 2022 to March 2023: 3.27 million copies sold worldwide (+1.97 million copies compared to previous year)
• April 2023 to March 2024: 5.06 million copies sold worldwide (+1.79 million copies compared to previous year)

Previous Persona Sales Milestones​

In March 2024, Atlus announced that the Persona series had sold over 22 million units worldwide. As of December 2023, the Persona 5 series (including Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 5 Strikers, and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight) has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Persona is Atlus Cash Cow, they would be crazy not to remake Persona 4

Hope not, I'll be paying a bunch of €€ this month to import a Switch copy of Persona 4 Golden. /s

Fuck that, I want a remake of Persona 2

 

[touchfuzzy]

They really need to get the next mainline game out soon, even as a fan I'm starting to tire of P5 spin offs and remakes.

 

[Little Chicken]

So when you put your games on more platforms they sell more?

Take notes, SE.

 

[Vyse]

They have my money.

Didn't really have anywhere else to put this and it's the most recent Persona related thread I could find.

Just rolled credits on P5R and absolutely loved my time with it - never, ever thought I'd get into this kind of game but I'm glad I gave it a shot, 100+ hours later and I'm sad to see the back of it. Just outstanding presentation, visuals, UI, animation, music, VO, really loveable cast of characters. Devolves into the usual anime nonsense but that's fine. Futaba best girl, but I was also gutted I could have more of Yoshizawa.

Guess I'm a weeb now. Roll on P6 and the inevitable P4G remake.

Re-release both Persona 2 parts, you cowards.

Remaking p3 was great for me. I own three different copies of p3 from over the years and reloaded is the first time I’ve actually even booted up the game. Platinumed it.
Remake of 4 would be less interesting to me though as I did beat golden on vita.

Yeah, if they could do a combined remake of both parts into one game in a modern engine, Persona 2 could be amazing. Still probably the best Megaten or Persona story.

P4G Remake to a modern engine with better dungeons, more QoL and maybe some
More minor enhancements would be amazing. I am sure it could sell quite well.

But it’s all about opportunity cost and it depends which studio is doing what. Clearly P6 should be the focus.

Yeah, but...!

You mean when they release remakes, right? SE is already doing that. They did better than the entire Persona Series with FF7 remake.
