I assume Persona games budget are a fraction of western AAA games.
This game had been in development for more than 3-4 years no?

That is pretty awesome. Not the biggest JRPG fan but Persona, SMT and FE are a ok in my book all for different reasons.
"A few more" would be more fitting. It has been shown time and again that games like these and the Xbox crowd don't exactly resonate.
XB2 huge AAA exclusive? Lol! I'd wager you have not really played it? You can easily see the cut corners literally everywhere.
No, that's OG P5, P5R is 400k in japan right now
Basically, it was first mentioned as under development in 2012 , released 2016 in japan
Congrats Atlus - keep it up.
Seems like the term AAA has lost all his meaning - assuming you think that a XB2 had a much bigger budget that P5....which is very unlikely when you consider the staff involved and the development time.
Still not the numbers the franchise deserves but the growth is fantastic. Very cool.
A few more million?
A few more million?
this is the one case where port begging makes sense to me
Atlus' archaic approach to exclusives is straight up bizarre, who still does this "one game per system" thing outside of, like, PC exclusive developers?
We done come a long way.
The complete lack of any P5 news was so bad back then
It's the best game of the generation, glad to see it's successful. That said, I hope they don't rest on their laurels and address the glaring criticisms that people had (namely the homophobic shit).
Guys stop quoting the Xbox guy, I'm sure he's ashamed of his words and deeds.
I really do have to finish Death Strading so I can finally play this and Witcher 3 and see what the hype was all about. I'm sure I'm gonna love them.

i wasnt speaking in terms of money spent. Xenoblade 2 as an open world large scale title is clearly a big project, and with Nintendo's marketing behind it as a first party title, it makes sense to sell.
I dont think XB2 would have sold anywhere near as much without being affiliated with nintendo because they can give it that push, which makes me wonder if they are going to have a more hands on approach for SMT5 since there are plenty of JRPG fans on switch who are looking for games like tht
People laugh at me for saying so, but im dead serious when i say SMT5 has a chance of making the next big hit of Atlus if they play their cards right.
Nice.
Now put that money to good use Atlus. I expect a lot form SMTV and P6.

Yeah, it's not going to happen with the current Atlus but we can dreamNice.

It was a great game, I'm really glad it sold well. Since P4G and P5, the Persona franchise has really entered into the mainstream consciousness, which is fantastic to see as a fan.
400k for P5R is well beyond what I would've guessed. I would've pegged it at like 150k tops at this point.
Seeing as mainline SMT is nothing like Persona and doesn't have the same appeal to a mainstream audience, very unlikely.
