[PCGamer] Sega: More Atlus PC ports could be coming, too, but the ball is currently in Atlus's court

Knowing Atlus it will probably take forever before they allow another port for PC.
Bought Catherine day 1 even though I'm not interested in it just to help slightly increase the chances of one day having Persona 5 on PC. I will do whatever it takes.
This.
Nocturne is 16 years old and it never got a port to anywhere, unless you count the poor PS3 emulated version that came out after PS4 was already released. Atlus is like my grandparents.
I know Steamspy isn't reliable anymore, but if their Catherine numbers (20,000-50,000) are even remotely accurate I wouldn't say it has "performed well".
I think you mean Persona 3.
Also lol at the idea that the release of a 8 years old game, far from their most successfull licence ( or even genre ), which had a remaster-like release already announced on console; help in any way, shape or form evaluate what Atlus should do with the PC platform.
They only needed to look at pretty much every other jrpg multiplatform released over the past few years, and how no publisher ever decided that the PC platform wasn't actually worth it after tipping their toes in it, to "evaluate" the market.
Others consoles, you're right. Other platforms though, you'd be surprised.

If we were talking about a normal Developer, sure but we are talking about Atlus here. Nothing they do makes sense from a business perspective.
Weren't they happy that the original sold like 150-200k between ps3 and X360? But i don't remember very well.
50k could be good for them,maybe.
That's 50K units worth a sales that they got at what I presume was minimal effort. But, as someone else pointed out, Atlus doesn't appear to be solely driven by money, and it also looks like Sega will not force their hand.
The best version is coming soon, why people would buy the old?
There's no one definite way to operate an acquired company. Some companies merge their purchases into their existing structure, others let their acquisitions do as they see fit and only step in when they screw up. Sega chose the latter with Atlus, clearly.
I already said this in the Yakuza thread, but if Atlus' history is any indication, they're just going to create a new franchise that'll be PC exclusive and not get console ports.

It is still the first Atlus game on Steam.
I expected bigger numbers.
Hahaha PC Gamer doesn't know Atlus very well.
Be happy that Catherine is there because that may be the only game you'll see from them.
I'm saying this a Switch user who is still waiting a game from them since launch.

SEGA gives all of their development teams almost complete autonomy, it's almost unheard of in the Publishing world but it works and it's why so many developers talk about how happy they are to have joined SEGA... In almost every case it's a good thing. In Atlus' case... Pros and cons...
We'll see SMT5 news in 2021 probably and it'll most likely come out at the end of the Switch's life. ATLUS loves being late to systems, sometimes to point of having to put a game on a newer system because they took so long (see Persona 5)
Unless Sega Europe ports it themselves, i don't see that happening since they didn't even bother to update those games to 64 bit when Apple was getting rid of 32 bit apps.
I still feel like this is a smaller hurdle to clear than 'Atlus decides to allow SMT/Persona games since the PS2 era on more than one platform at a time'
2021 is definitely not the end of Switch's life though. I think we'll see other games for sure (at least one Etrian Odyssey and of course P5S although Omega Force is making it).
I'm not sure how much is love for being late, to me it just seems poor planning. They started full scale development for SMTV only 8-10 months after the initial reveal. This is even worse than Square Enix.
I just don't understand why a good portion of Japanese companies have to be dragged into the future kicking and screaming. Are clueless 90 year old men really the major decision makers or is that a stereotype?
It's an extremely extremely niche game
Literally no one asked for this
50k is fine.
