I don't see your point. Why don't you elaborate seeing as you're the one accusing him of being a troll? He didn't expect such a gap and I think I remember the talk in the last thread where others didn't either. I certainly didn't expect the ps4 version so high and I'm pleasantly surprised.
Honestly speaking this is my major concern for the series. I have this sinking feeling that Monster Hunter World 2 might sell a lot less than Monster Hunter World 1 on account of waning interest in the West.
Capcom already said Iceborne sales were proportionately much higher in Asia versus World iirc.
With Onimusha they wanted to test waters if there is still interest for the IP. There is nothing to test with Dead Rising.
Considering 244k isn't a super high bar after already passing 150k, it wouldn't be too surprising if it did, but one would imagine people are more willing to buy what is, for story purposes, a canon sequel to Persona 5, rather than an updated version of the original game with more content that 517k people already bought between PS3 and PS4. Heck, I'd be surprised if most even knew Koei Tecmo were the devs on P5S.
Yeah... I hope that the success MHW 1 got might translate to a higher sales baseline for the series in the West. The competition in the West is way too fierce and brutal. But like I said, my mind isnt at ease. I hope my fear is irrational.
Usually the Persona updated versions sold very well, about on par with the vanilla entry in Japan.
Nah a framemeister mini or an OSSC are excellent purchases for old school systems. My Saturn looks gorgeous on my 4k vizio with the OSSC through RGB

Dengeki has some data about multiplats (Switch / PS4):
(Those are total sales of the 78 multiplat titles).
- Week 1 - Nintendo Switch: 42.8% / PlayStation 4: 57.2%
- LTD - Nintendo Switch: 57.2% / PlayStation 4: 44.4%
Basically, multiplat titles usually sell more on PS4 at launch, but Switch versions have better legs. Nothing new there.

Why would a concern troll/console warrior refrain from engaging with an another concern troll/console warrior?

That was sinobi based on amazon first day and not a bizarre comment and I've saying 2:1 ratio for weeks for everyone who watches.
I don't think it's really about age or lifecycle. PS4 games have always had notoriously weak legs.
$ that Nintendo earned are obviously less valuable then those that Sony earned.
As the post above said there was talk last week it wouldn't be so one sided for the ps4.
Did you just make a nazi reference?
I don't think anyone is saying it's one sided for PS4 though. It's not as close as some expected, but it's not amazing numbers for any platform.
Atlus can point to the ratio not being 1:1 as an excuse not to support Switch with mainline Persona if they are that desperate to cling to their de facto exclusive ways.
They'd more likely just say nothing while continuing to cash those Sony checks.
Personally I think the total number switch + ps4 is quite impressive. Probably over 200k with the more profitable digital sales counted too.
I'm not entirely convinced there is actually a money deal for Persona exclusivity anymore. It might just be Atlus being phenomenally stupid.
It was closer to 3:1 than 2:1 though.
I don't see much reason for PS4 exclusivity if P5 isn't incentivised. And the same for SMTV on Switch.
Another guy said that it was 50-70% for both version combined:
