I hope it goes on to sell a millions its first month, shutting up everyone that calls these japanese games "niche" and goes "who the hell plays that crap?".

"There are dozens of us!" - I say... and its seemingly a great game, deserves every sale.

Tickles me pink, seeing Persona 5, being the best selling game on amazon.

That there are 2 sku's of it ahead of any xbox one game...  this "niche" game.... riiiiight.

I really hope that happens.Not only to show that Japanese games sell(that isnt action based), but also that turn based games are far from dead and, when well implemented, can be more viable than other methods.

from neogaf:

"Worldwide shipments for Persona 5 have topped 1.5 million, Atlus announced.
We know that at least 550,000 of those shipments are from Japan, as Atlus announced in October.
Persona 5 launched for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on September 15, 2016, and in North America and Europe this Tuesday, April 4." - Nirolak

 

Seems to be doing alright.. Must have been alot of preorders, shipping more than a million units (to the west), to be ready day1.

 

Its sold out in denmark (a few online shops I visted), and in the UK (neogaf poster said), and probably a few other european countries (belgium). They underestimated demand I think (in europe). Hopefully this means it has good legs, and they get more stock to europe soon.
