| RolStoppable said: Very doubtful. The series has yet to eclipse the 0.5m mark in Japan and that's where a good chunk of the sales are going to come from. You basically expect the rest of the world to add another 1.5m to the total, but Persona is too Japanese in its design to gain such traction. When you have something like the Tales series (also features decidedly Japanese looks) not gaining much ground in the West in over a decade despite its more appealing combat, then Persona is pretty much a lost cause. The pace is too slow and the systems are too convoluted. |
This but lets take it further.
STAR OCEAN is a Million selling franchise. It will at least sell a Million copies. That is not the case for TALES or PERSONA. I expect STAR OCEAN to sell comparable or slightly better than SO3 which is it at 1.79mill.
Now if you expect P5, a less popular franchise then SO, to sell 2mill then you expect SO5 to sell like 4mill... I loooove SO, but it aint selling 4mill.
