[Draugoth]

Celebrating over 1.6M units sold worldwide for the Shin Megami Tensei V series… and counting.Thank you for the love and support for SMTV & SMTV: Vengeance!

 

[Saber]

Keep making great games Atlus. Thats all to it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I wonder what the breakdown is between SMTV and SMTV:V

 

[Arsic]

I was worried about this one prior to playing; and even first few hours, but it’s well deserved.

I’ve played a variety of SMT games aside from persona, and this one is finally clicking. Persona 4&5 are goated for me. I hope this ends up being on that level.

If not, there’s always metaphor!

 

[Danjin44]

Damn well deserved! I LOVED original SMTV on Switch but Vengeance is even better in every way.

In fact I would go as far as say this my favourite Atlus’s re-releases.

 

[Pejo]

Great game, not much else to say. Glad they're seeing success. I'm about 20 hours in already and feel like I barely scratched the surface.

I wonder what the breakdown is between SMTV and SMTV:V

Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide

With new art to celebrate

www.nintendolife.com

It has to be less than half a million for SMTV:V if this was 2 years ago on switch.

 

[sigmaZ]

Really feels like they got the balance right with this one. Anytime I get stuck on a boss I know exactly how I have to navigate to defeat them. Also helps that the battles are lightning fast and you can skip animations if you want. The music is fantastic as well.

 

[Chechack]

Was disgusted when this was announced,still bought deluxe day 1 since im a hardcore SMT fan.

Cant deny this game is great tho

 

[Labadal]

500k units on PC isn't bad.

Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide

The JP SMT Twatter account posted SMTV:V did 500k in the first 3 days so your guess was pretty close

Now that's it's available on PS4/5 and Steam it will probably get a lot of sales from people who missed it on Switch plus I'm guessing some Switch people bought it on another platform to upgrade the hardware they are playing on LOL

 

[LectureMaster]

Vengeance sold half million in 3 days.

Honestly this is pretty impressive for an Atlus title.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance sales top 500,000 in three days

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance sold over 500,000 copies in its first three days of release, ATLUS announced.

Atlus makes good games but... never buy the first version.

 

[amigastar]

It has denuvo so it stopped probably some people pirating the game.
Yes, I`m convinced Denuvo stops piracy. I'm not saying Denuvo is good, though.

 

[Robb]

Doesn’t sound amazing but I assume that’s good relative to past games in the series (?) since they’re celebrating it.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Well done SEGA

I don’t think anyone disagrees that Denuvo stops piracy, as it obviously does, the question is if that translates into a meaningful increase in game sales. It seems unlikely that people used to pirating games would suddenly pivot to buying this specific game instead of pirating any of the thousands of other games they have access to.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

SMTVV already sold 500k copies in 3 days!? Guess it's time to make some more of them demons horny.

 

[March Climber]

Atlus makes good games but... never buy the first version.

Agreed. They’re like the Capcom of Sega studios.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's the best selling mainline SMT game, so yeah, the numbers are great.

 

[Same ol G]

I wonder what the breakdown is between SMTV and SMTV:V

SMTV sold over 1 million units per april 2022
Source wikipedia
So probably around 400-500k

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Btw, you should play SMTVV for the OST alone. Some of the battle music is straight fire!



Draugoth Feel free to add this information to your OP since I see lots of GAFers ITT doing guesswork on the actual SMTVV sales numbers.

SMTV series has sold over 1.6 million copies worldwide! In addition, SMTVV , released on June 14th, has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide in just three days! We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for your patronage and support.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Well done SEGA

SEGA yes they are wizards, a rabbit can come out of the hat very soon.

 

[Zheph]

amazing number
Nahobino keeps winning

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

500k in 3 days is impressive.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Damn well deserved! I LOVED original SMTV on Switch but Vengeance is even better in every way.

Question how long is the new content in comparison to the original?

I played the OG on Switch and I'm thinking of getting SMTVV on Steam

Fomo is also a thing as a pirate tho.

I’m currently 40 hours in and still not close to be done.

 

[Team Andromeda]

SEGA yes they are wizards, a rabbit can come out of the hat very soon.

And maybe a replay that makes some sense

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I’m currently 40 hours in and still not close to be done.

So the new content is long

That's good to know

I'll buy the game next month

Thanks

It's an entirely new route that can be chosen instead of the original game story at the start

 

[kyubajin]

Did my part, bought the OG Switch release and now Vengeance for PS5. Hope they keep increasing the quality until it blows up in popularity like the Persona series.

 

[PanzerCute]

500k in 3 days is damn impressive for a SMT game. The whole SMT5 series should easily pass 2 millions in the next weeks.

Totally deserved, vanilla version was already amazing but Vengeance is even better.

Segatlus are on fire this year!

 

[adamsapple]

GG Sega / Atlus

Playing through the game right now and having a blast.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Mainline SMT games never sold this much, so this is great news for all the fans.

 

[Zheph]

Time for Strange Journey II, Atlus you cowards

 

[hemo memo]

Respectable.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Very much deserved! Awesome game!

 

[Shadowstar39]

Awesome. I got it again on switch (got smt5 as a gift when it came out) .

Question. I never finished the first version was maybe 2-3 hours in and got distracted. Which path should I take, take the hand and help the girl or not?
Not sure if i go that route (take the hand is vengeance right? Going back to original content would feel lesser?

 

[Deerock71]

Atlus makes good games but... never buy the first version.

Everyone should follow your advice and watch Atlus close down lol.
