Atlus says Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Scramble has exceeded sales expectations
- Thread starter Adhrast
- Start date
if they could drop a P5 port and the localization of P5S nearby each other on Switch, that'd be super ideal and would make up for Switch somehow getting a sequel and not the original
it's not excusable but they have been doing it for 13 years now, since P3FES. dont think much would change either way at this point

I'm still working through P4G on PC, but am really enjoying it and this will probably be me in a few weeks.p4g on PC finally got me into the series. I'm ready for more Atlus.
Quotes from another thread about the same report:
In layman terms, Old Atlus was a division of Index Corporation, but after Index Corporation became bankrupt, their remaining Atlus and Index assets were sold to Sega and absorbed into a newly formed subsidiary called Sega Dream Corporation.
Sega Dream Corporation was later rebranded as Index Corporation and then rebranded again to Atlus with all the non-gaming assets of Sega Dream Corporation being spun-off into a new company called Index Corporation.
Sega to Divide Index Corp. Into: Atlus and Index in April [Update] - Persona Central
Sega has announced, via a press release, that they will split their subsidiary, Index, into Atlus and Index on April 1.personacentral.com
Index Corporation was eventually sold off to Sawada Holdings because the company was no longer relevant within Sega Sammy's conglomerate.

We know it's coming as Persona 5 Strikers, the question is when.
I mean I wouldn't call it a defense rather than just a normal preference, but maybe some people just prefer a team being able to add new content throughout the whole game instead of a separate DLC campaign that leaves the base game mostly untouched?
I'd prefer if more games I love had the luxury of letting an experienced dev team keep working on them for a year+ after launch to keep making them better. I was pretty disappointed when it was announced Sword and Shield were never going to be finished in a hypothetical Pokemon Gun and instead we're just getting DLC side stories.
I'm more happy Atlus USA is taking its time with 13 Sentinels and doing french and spanish localizations. I think I can wait for Scramble a bit more for that.
Beside, considering now Atlus USA also work for Sega titles like Yakuza (remember when in two years we got a lot titles?) and Sakura Wars they are quite busy.

Considering Scramble is already released on switch and PS4 in Japan. If it was somehow exclusive to Xbox here, I'd say people being angry would actually be reasonable as opposed to most circumstances.
Continuing P5 as a sub-series sounds like a great idea.It's going to be a long time before P6 and Scramble seems high quality so why not?
That was my immediate thought upon reading this thread title.
I know it's technically a derail but absolutely worth bringing up. I was legit surprised it wasn't in NG+ expo.
I really doubt we see it at the Xbox show...not because of any reason like "Atlus would never put it on Xbox", but just because it's not really a next gen game.
Western release saved it.Didn't SEGA say that P5R sold below expectations in Japan?
Yeah I could easily see them do that. They've been releasing one Persona 5 related game every year it since
2017 - Persona 5
2018 - Persona 5 Dancing Star Light
2019 - Persona Q2
2020 - Persona 5 Royal
2021 - Persona 5 Scramble (?)
Plus wasn't there a survey they asked where people would want to see the Phantom Thieves go next? I think Hawaii was the winner.
Didn't SEGA say that P5R sold below expectations in Japan?
No that means that total unit sales of packaged games were below expectations. Not necessarily all of the games they released did below expectations. Based on shipments alone Mario & Sonic is the bigger culprit here.
Pirate warriors4 released in the spring. They don't currently have any musou games slated for release right now. I believe the next game will be Samurai Warriors 5, which could release either late this year or early next year. But it hasn't been announced yet. Maybe at TGS
The Dynasty Warriors action series is celebrating 20 years this year so we're very likely to see a new Dynasty Warriors game this fall, assuming it wasn't delayed.
Seriously. I've played the Japanese demo several times and it's really fun. Where's the localization?!
im not sure if DW9 fits their usual Xtreme Legends or Empires gameplay models Meanwhile, it's been several years (6) since the base version of Samurai Warriors 4, which was a cross gen game mind you. It's due for a new mainline entry whereas DW just came out. Maybe an enhanced version of DW9 for the next gen maybe? No reason why it could only be one or the other when they finally announce something. But I'm betting on SW5 than another DW iteration
Just started P5S Chinese edition (about 2 hours plus in) . This is basically Persona 5 2, hope the pacing will be better than P5. It's such a high quality game and doesn't really feel like a spinoff so far.
Cool... so can you take my money now Atlus for english Persona 5 Scramble and Persona 5 on switch? Please just take my money already!! I want to explore Mementos on my toilet already!
EDIT: Also while we are at it, i would also love to throw even more cash to your face Atlus for P4G and P3 on switch :D

I've been waiting for Dynasty Warriors X to be revealed for awhile, mainly to see if they were still going to keep the open world formula 9 had
Nice! Looking forward to it.
Yup!
And that new fantasy JRPG as well.
for that old SEGA fiscal thing, that was all of the packaged game sales combined fell short, not any individual game. And considering Atlus were gloating about over 400k Royal sales in Japan in a very short time, I doubt it was the culprit of falling short there
scramble is happening. for whatever reason we have no news. Only LOGICAL explanations are either COVID delayed the VAing or Nintendo has marketing here. Former is most likely. Or its just Atlus being Atlus
as for Arena, they trademarked P5U and got new domains registered not that long ago. I assume its still happening. But that could change
Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 are different games. Royal does not replace 5, and playing Royal doesn't mean you shouldn't play Persona 5. The amount of content and changes added to P5R is staggering, but it isn't necessarily better. It really is worth at least 40-50 dollars, and at that point, there is no reason for it to be DLC.
