So far as i know, they both barely topped 1 million which isnt enough to pay for the average production cost this gen which i heard was between 80-120 million.

Besides that my question still standd being that there were lots of great games that didnt sell enough and some died because of that such as Kingdoms of Amalur.

Persona 5 is at almost 2m copies sold and has PS3 assets so it's not current gen production costs. It's also Atlus' highest selling game ever.

Nioh sold over a million just over month after release and is Koei Tecmo's most successful game ever published in the west. It will also end up being Team Ninja's highest selling game ever and that's all just on the PS4. There's a PC version coming and it should be very popular.

Thats awesome to hear about Persona but like i said, in Niohs case, if that game cost around the average production budget of videogames then selling a little over a million isnt going to cover the likely 80+ million put into it. I could be completely wrong with how much the average game cost or with how much i assume Nioh cost. Like i said, i remember reading about the average prod budget of videogames on some site a few years back and can only assume its gone up
