No way in hell. P5 is the anticipation. Granted they only thing they share is that they are RPGs which is like Comparing Fallout and Chronotrigger, but Persona's fanbase has been growing while Xenos has been shrinking. P5 and Xeno will tie in Japan, P5 will barely beat out Xeno in US, and absolutely dominate Xeno in the UK. All on the PS4.

??? Xenoblade (this isn't related to Xenosaga or Baiten) has no itteratively established franchise to say "fanbase has been X". Its ONE title of a limited worldwide and dated release, we have no idea what its fanbase is or isn't as it hasn't been tested beyond a brand new IP that launched during the dying era of the Wii. (And outsold every installment of Persona...unless we add up every re-release.)

Xeno refers to X, I just don't care enough to get the name wrong. Xenoblade was released on the Wii, while P3 and P4 are PS2 games re released on platforms that didn't have even half its install base.

Its predecessors namel w.e Monolith made, obviously I'm exaggerating, is going to determine the base of its fanbase, these aren't fresh new IPs we're talking about here, and I doubt very many people are excited because X has mechs.

Persona's fanbase is growing, Nintendo even did Atlus a favor and had PQ on the 3DS, you've got the fighters on 360 and PS3, re-releases on Vita, hell SMT works in Atlus's favor as well. The reason Persona and its derivatives have had such legs is because that fanbase is building. In Japan, UK, and US. 

One anticipated "Spiritual Successor" isn't going to outsell a sleeping giant like P5.
