The Persona series has four mainline entries with over a ten releases on multiple platforms.  And those 6+mil includes all those AND spinoffs.  Xenoblade has two entries with three releases and no spinoffs and has only been on two platforms yet has already crossed 2mil.  The joke, which you missed, was you were talking trash cause the original XC had modest sales but then Persona releases have always had modest or weak sales except for Persona 4 Golden.  

 

Oh and Persona is also over 15 years old while Xenoblade is less than 4 years old.  So yeah, not a good comparison at all.

 

Talk about out of context. ok lets get technical. xenoblade chronicles is pretty much already gotten rid off ok, with such a limited release, good luck finding a used one at full price. And don't try to sugarcoat the fact that persona series is a span of 10 games, because that is irrelevant. it's still out there and you can buy it at low price on PSN.

If you insist on taking the conversation down this route, at least use like-to-like comparisons. If you're serious about this post, then I'm honestly a little shocked you don't see the issue.

Not that sales are really the end-all for a topic like this, but at least be consistent.

 

Let me make myself very clear, I didn't insist on this. I didn't make the comparison.

Someone made a comment about my sig/avatar. What I said after that is not false.

By the way, I don't insist in taking this any further.

 

I highly suggest no one to take this any further.

Getting a bit condescending eh?  Frankly I don't even get what point you're trying to make.  The ONLY metric for sales is new sales anyway, once the print is exhausted that's it.  Persona 4 Golden is the only single release of any Persona game to outsell the original Xenoblade Chronicles release in tracked sales.  That's a stone cold fact.  I don't care and no one does about used sales, period.  And current availability via used sales is also a pointless thing to bring up as it is far, far too open to interpretation (could be it gets bought up constantly, could be no one sells it or trades it).  As for digital releases, you would have half a leg to stand on except you wnet with series sales which brings in XC3D (available digitally) and XCX (available digitally).  And I'm not sugarcoating jack with the point that the Persona series is a very long running franchise with ten releases of four mainline games and numerous releases of spinoffs. YOU gloated about the 6+ million sales, YOU compared them to the sales of the Xenoblade series.  YOU took the sales of a series you liked and compared them to one you didn't like without context in order to arbitrarily skew things in favor of that game.  In fact the only reason this discussion happened was because you got snippy with someone who was just making a lighthearted poke at your comment at the start of the thread. You assumed the aggressive stance.  

But I digress.  If you think Persona having some five times the number of releases under its belt than the fledgling Xenoblade doesn't warrant mentioning when comparing SERIES sales, then I don't even know what to say.
