Persona 5 slim bundle happened. Sony did the right thing, this is perfect opportunity to breath some new life into the japanese market. This will also help FFXV tremendously, the same people who buy P5 slim bundle will also buy FFXV and on top of that there could very well be FFXV bundle aswell. Atlus, S-E and Sony, everyone wins.

The COMG comparisons are pretty meaningless now though, lol.

Yeah comg is irrelevant now for P5 but next week we'll find out what sort of boost FFXV gets when all those people go into pick up P5 and many of them will be first time ps4 buyers with the slim too.  

 

Mediacreate in 2 weeks is the place to be!  2016 has been real good to the ps4 but things are about to get very interesting!

You know, that preorders have not stopped for the shortage, and also do not usually stop for new hardware, since you can typically preorder both the new hardware and new software.

Yes atlus and so could square enix will gain more sales from this, but to say COMG Comparison are pretty meaningless is an overstatement. Other intillegent users have carried this sentitment like BraLod earlier this week. 

If you need evidence, look at new3ds, and how it did not really slow down monster hunter, pokemon, or smash bros, because at the end of the day you can still preorder both.



 

No Personaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 5.... :(
But it's still gonna crush Persona 4 first week sales! :P

Ya no doubt, that was given for awhile, since the ratios of the ps2 vs late ps3/ps4 era.

I think the new PS4 bundle is gonna get a big impact in Persona sales... Bundle is limited so as usual legs will suck, but is gonna have a very nice first week.

That's such great news. Love seeing a bit of series growth!

What the fuck are you talking about?

Seriously, I guess I need to explain it to you since you seem to be completely blind.

This is about Persona 5, do you understand?

Weekly sales of PS4 have been really low since everyone was anticipating the new cheaper PS4 and then there was the shortages also. Now what do you think will happen when Sony just announced this new cheaper PS4 with Persona 5 bundle? The bent up demand will cause the bundle to sell like crazy and that will increase the sales of Persona 5 tremendously...do you still follow? Now the sales ratio of Persona 5 is going to be something totally different than if this bundle had not happened and thus the COMG comparison is not valid anymore for Persona 5. Or do you think you can find some value from comparing Persona 5 against what...8 year old data of Persona 4 and draw some conclusions from that? Do you understand the circumstances need to be similar for the COMG comparison to work.

Your example of using new3ds as evidence shows you do not think logically at all. Take a look at the numbers, what was 3ds install base before new3ds and compare it to PS4 install base before this new cheaper PS4 model. The circumstances are completely different.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

You know you can do this every game just about that comparisons are not fair, if you even read my other posts in this thread, that ratios from ps2 era are different the ones right now. We factor stuff like this in this thread, if you actually follow the thread, but no you rather go about saying it is meaningless. 

You also know that about everyone estimates this to do better than persona 4 did on launch, based on COMG of a month ago right? See my post to Dr. Vita for example this morning. 

Here is the thing, comparisons still happen, because guess what, you can still take into factors into equations when comparing, otherwise this thread would be completely useless and we would have zero discussion on games. Guess what games get kickass bundles all the time, we still compare games. 



 

The ps4 taking over amazon Japan!!!!

#1 ps4 pro
#2 ps4 500gb slim
#3 Persona 5 PS4 bundle
#4 Persona 5
#7 ps4 1TB slim

Just shows you. A lot of ps4 buyers will be getting the console then on the day a lot will pick up P5 without having pre ordered it. Obviously this applies to comg and the game won't hit the points total it could have. But the ratio will be better.
