for those talking about Atlus games like persona 3, and how they sell bad.....keep in mind, that much like Phoenix Wright the demand was kind of untapped b/c of small sales of other megaten games and I don't think atlus shipped much more than a few hundred thousand copies. we never got a chance to order it at the retail store I work at b/c it was already discontinued from almost day 1.

 

Thats definitely an issue with Atlus. however I still don't see those games reaching 0.5 mil WW thats why I can't understand these new found tears for RPGs. I guess people don't realize what they have till they've lost it. So many posters are praising SO3 which sucks compared to any SMT (excluding devill summoner). This shows that they don't really know any RPGs. They just ride on the S-E hype.

There are just as many people who bash SO3 as there are that praise SO3.  I liked SO3 even though it has quite a few flaws.  If I ever get the chance to,  I will try Persona 3 FES as I heard it was awesome

 

You kind of proved my point though. I suspect that you played SO3, which is probably sub-par to the other games I mentioned if you ask those who've played all, because it was published by S-E. I jumped head first because of S-E also but later I realized that I had had much better RPG experiences. This is not to say that SO3 is a bad game, it is just that so many people ignored games that are way better than it in the same genre. For example, its kind of like crying that Resistance 2 is going to 360 when you didn't even play COD4 for PS3. Hopes this clarifies things.
