Shout outs to Yakuza for making Sega realize this kind of port is worth it. Hopefully it'll be a wake up call to Atlus that they're leaving tons and tons of money on the floor by not putting their games on PC/Switch. I've got all the platforms, so I don't need to get on my hands and knees and beg Atlus to port, for example, Persona 5 to Switch or PC, but it's always been weird to me how hesitant they are with this kind of thing. The demand is absolutely there for the SMT franchise as a whole but, and I'm not sure if contractual or what, they seem to pretty blatantly ignore it and I have no idea why.

 

[Max|Payne]

Nice. Now release it for Switch you cowards.

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Not bad for an old game.

 

[The Last One]

Wow those are nice numbers for Royal.

 

[Deleted member 2840]

nice numbers

First post portbegging :(

Spoiler

I hope everyone gets it on their system of choice :D

 

[Serene]

Hell yeah. Now bring the rest.

 

[Jurec84]

*Pretends to be shocked*

 

[RecRoulette]

I bought a copy never intending to play it just to support Atlus bringing more of their PC games to Steam.

Keep going Atlus!

 

[Samiya]

Incredible sales! Now bring over all the Vanillaware games please <3

You mean shoutout to Sega Europe for pushing for PC ports. They are real stars.

did my part on steam sale

Atlus: our PC port of Persona 4 was successful.

Gamers: So will you port more Persona games to pc/switch/Xbox/PS ?

Atlus: …….

 

[Weiss]

Atlus perpetually wilding that releasing beloved games locked on relic hardware on much more popular platforms means people buy your games.

They are run by fucking dinosaurs. Persona 5 sold in the ball park as the fucking Final Fantasy VII remake and they still don't get it.

 

[mrmickfran]

Royal at almost 2 mil is wild

It came out at the perfect time

Well they technically did, Persona 5 Strikers is on PC.

If it was contractual (meaning they're tied up with Sony) then why didn't PS4 get the P4G port alongside PC?

 

[WestEgg]

I'm one. Loved what I've played but kind of hit a wall at the video game dungeon and haven't been able to get back in to it just yet.

 

[lost7]

That's incredible numbers. If Persona 6 were to be a day 1 release on PC, it could be massive.

Actually, if the series in general went fully multiplatform it has so much potential for growth

I just mean with Atlus as a whole, not explicitly just for P4G.

 

[HououinKyouma]

Hopefully those numbers are enough to warrant console releases. Would kill to play this game finally.

Can't imagine how big Persona would be if it was run by... pretty much any other company.

 

[vhoanox]

So it's probably over 1m, and not to mention steam summer sale going right now.

 

[nsilvias]

fix that all out attack fps drop glitch atlus. it happens everytime you do an all out.

 

[LabRat]

what i want even more than persona 5 would be a vanillaware collection. it's a shame that muramasa is stuck on the vita

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Atlas is weird with platforms, I wouldn't expect any new ports for a while

 

[PachaelD]

Considering all the copies they're selling and the multiple collabs with other games they're still far behind those amortisation losses (which I thought would be absorbed by SegaSammy when they were bought out).

 

[HMD]

Royal at almost 2 million is amazing to see. Can't imagine how well P5R's ports could do on PC and Switch.

 

[TubaZef]

So... we passed the test? Can we have 5 now?

 

[PumpkinPieAddict]

Count me for 1 as of last week.

Now release Persona 5 Royale!

 

[Tora]

Nice. Now release it for Switch you cowards.

Click to shrink...

To be blunt, it's more like "fucking idiots"

Seriously, wtf is their strategy - i'm absolutely baffled that P5 strikers was released on Switch before the original/Royal

 

[Lord Fanny]

It's a good number, but honestly, kind of expected more with how hyped a lot of people seemed to be and it effectively being the first time the game has come off PlayStation. Thought it'd break a mil pretty easily by now. Still, older game and all, so still strong numbers

For PC only this is an amazing number, honestly. It would have done much better had it released on consoles too, of course.

I'm sure Atlus will think about that right after they started releasing Shin Megami Tensei V Day 1 on PC or even multiplatform. Nintendo will be as thrilled as Sony.

 

[night814]

Now do a definitive version of p3

 

[ZeroNoir_]

if they make ports they sell specially to an starved audience. Who would knew!?

 

[Chibs]

Congrats to Atlus, but it could have been so much higher if they'd released it on other platforms as well...

 

[whoamiifnotwhoiam]

Atlus is one of the first ever companies i've seen that simply hates money, it seems. They could sell multiple millions with old games just by porting games to more plataforms... Hopefully they keep realizing how much there is to win with putting more games in other consoles.

 

[Helix]

release it on Amazon Alexa you cowards!

 

[YozoraXV]

Thats crazy for such an old game. There is no way we don't see ports for the rest of them now.

 

[Weiss]

I've been thinking of Atlus as this scrappy underdog RPG developer and it turns out the reason they aren't more popular is because they're run by folks who still think it's 1997.

 

[SuperFakerBros]

Now I wonder how well a lot of their games would do if they were available on more than one platform

 

[Bowl0l]

Bad news if you want support. Their bug reporting thread has been abandoned for a long time.

 

[Zukuu]

Still waiting for P5R on steam. :(

 

[Weebos]

Bought it for myself and multiple friends on release. Please bring your games to more platforms Atlus.

 

[Patitoloco]

release it on Amazon Alexa you cowards!

Click to shrink...

You laugh, but Atlus are the kind of weirdos that would release an exclusive Amazon Luna game.

 

[Jardim]

Now we need a Persona 3 FES remaster and the best Persona will finally be on PC!
