My personal G.o.t.y.

Atlus notes that Persona 5 has earned critical acclaim since its initial launch, receiving recognition and awards from media outlets and fans. Most recently, Persona 5 has been nominated in four categories for The Game Awards 2017, which will be held on December 7, including “Game of the Year,” “Best Art Direction,” “Best Score / Music,” and “Best Role-Playing Game.”

Other awards include:

Japan Game Awards 2015 – Future Division Award

PlayStation Awards 2016 – Gold Prize / Users’ Choice Prize Winner

VFX-Japan Awards 2017 – Game Video Division Excellence Award

IGN Japan Games of the Year 2016 – No. 1 Title

Dengeki PlayStation Awards 2016 – No. 1 Best Title of 2016

Famitsu Awards 2016 – Excellence Award

Japan Game Awards 2016 – Excellence Award

“This has been an incredible year for our company, one that represents our ambitions for Japanese games in the west,” said Naoto Hiraoka, president & CEO of Atlus U.S.A. “We are in the middle of experiencing tremendous growth, both in the west and abroad, and the sales of Persona 5 represent a new level of expectation for fans of the genre. Once seen as niche, Persona 5 is one of the most important titles this year, proving interest in this category is expanding. We look forward to delivering more incredible games to our fans next year.”

Persona 5 first launched for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan in September 2016, followed by the Americas and Europe in April 2017.

Honestly in my top 5 this year for sure, and my favorite PS4 game this generation. It deserves more, I say 5 million at least!

I think Anfebious made a bet that it wouldn't reach 2 million... I guess if he sees this he'll know that it's time to pay up!

Ayyy.

My personal GOTY, and Persona has no doubt gained a massive boost in popularity, now gimme my ridiculous spin-offs.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
