lol why are you taking my 50k as a literal number they should expect. I was just saying that they shouldnt expect crazy big numbers and therefore keep the budget down. And if you think 50k (which I meant Japan only because thats like 90% of sales) is bad as then you expect too much of games like this


Anything below 150k it bad for me and i'm sure if they made a real persona game it will probably have higher sale and profit.

lol someone dosent understand profit>sales numbers. Also if the team thats making DAN made a real Persona game it would destroy the series reputation

I said a rpg persona would sold and make more profit then this spin off.

Possibly, but if they have reasonable expectations and set their budget accordingly, they could still do very well from it, plus it's not being made by the main Persona team so there's no real negative impact on the development of other games. Also I'd imagine they'll just use music from P4 which has already been composed, maybe with some remixes but most of it will already be there plus the character designs and things are mostly in place anyway, so I doubt it will be expensive to develop

Spinoffs, even smaller ones can do well, that's why so many series have them - a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game will sell perhaps a tenth or even less of a mainline game, but they're still worth making to keep interest in the IP high without people getting bored of the same type of game over and over.

If they made P4:DAN instead of P5 then you may have a point, but that isn't the case so they may as well make a little extra cash on the side
