| Ponyless said: True but i seen wayyyy more talk about persona 4 golden than SMT4, when i talk to people who own a vita, 9 times out of 10 peronsa 4 golden will be a game they own/bought a vita for, both in real life and on the internet. It may be a remake but people treat it as a brand new game. |
SMT Nocturne had a low print when it was first released. Due to how much of a cult classic it was, it was reprinted three times.
While Atlus had a small amount of fans on the PSX, it was the PS2 where they grew to be more well known. It was a slow start but it wasn't until the end of the PS2s life that Atlus become as well known as they are now. Persona 3 was when Atlus received heavy advetrisement through the local news media because the characters shot themselves in the head. You could argue Persona 3 FES how it sold more, but I'll argue that most people didn't know about Persona 3 FES being announced in Japan prior to the US release of Persona 3. I think that if most people were fans of Atlus earlier, then they'd have played SMT Nocturne when it came out just as they would have played Persona 3 and Persona 4.
You also see way more talk about Persona 4 than SMT4 because SMT4 was a very disappointing sequel. It's a good game, but it's a good game that is much worse than the last few Persona or SMT releases, not counting Soul Hackers which is a port of a game that's really not too great.
