Forums - Sales Discussion - Persona 5: The JRPG-Masterpiece has sold more than 2.2 million units worldwide

Every unit of sales is deserved. It's amazing to see the huge jump from Persona 3/Persona 4. It seems the series is finally getting the recognition it deserves and I couldn't be happier.

Ouch - kinda low in sales considering the amount of press this game receives. Mind you, this is a niche title so it’s understandable.

But it’s good to see that console gaming is healthy - even in the more niche segments.

The sales really aren't low at all for what it is, in fact it's the best selling Persona game by far and no doubt Sega/Atlus is very pleased with it's sales.

Thats so true, Atlus (and Sega) are very happy about it.

My thoughts! :) Persona 5 is incredible, every gamer should experience this story, characters, gameplay, soundtracks and beautiful worlds !! = )

By comparison, PUBG on one platform (PC) has sold over 30 million units and on Xbox One it’s at over 5 million copies (as of March).

"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."

PUBG was developed by Koreans.

As a asian , I really respect them.

Makes me wonder how Dragon Quest 11 will sell. In all honesty, I dont care if a game is turn based, or real time just as long as its fun. Sadly Dragon Quest 11 is coming out at such a bad time, around the release of Spiderman, Tomb Raider and Spyro.



People saying that 2.2 million is not a lot of sales are not taking budget into the equation. Persona 5 is a mid-tier game, and people are acting like it should sell the same amount of copies as God of War. It doesn't work like that.

Graphics matter.

Nice to see it's having legs, it was just hitting 2 million late 2017 if I remember correctly.

Too much to expect another 300k before 2019?



                            

That's great. I haven't played the game myself because I'm lowkey waiting for a Golde-esque version :p



That's great news. And that does not even include my copy as I have not yet purchased this game. And I plan to eventually.

I was wondering something. On the PSN there's the standard edition of Persona 5 and there's the complete edition that sells for a huge 100 euros. So I was wondering, anyone with this so called complete edition, is it worth it? How "better" is it compared to the standard edition? Is it really worth such a huge price difference?
