Yet Halo 5 will outsell Persona lifetime in it's first month alone. On a smaller install base as well. 25m xbox one vs ps3 + ps4 install base (about 150 million units). Go figure. Maybe it's best to focus on games that appeal to western audience because that is where the money is. Not Japan.

If you want to shift the numbers in your favor. I can say that Persona 5 will outsell Tomb Raider's Xbox 360 version in Japan alone. 3 millions against 88+ millions with nearly 50 in the USA.

Comparing a Jap game to another Jap game? Okay. I'm comapring Western Games to Japan Games. Western games outdo Japanese games overall by a large margin the last two generations.
