| Blood_Tears said: Not surprised this is coming to all platforms. Atlus knows where the majority of its fanbase is. Persona 5 Royal didn't even crack the top 10 on Game pass most played games when it launched and that's with no big 1st party releases in 2022 on there, plus P3 and P4 fizzled out like a bottle rocket there. There's not a huge Persona following on that platform. Atlus is getting a good deal out of this which is most likely going to funding for Persona 6 that is rumored to be PS5 exclusive. |
This post is weird, Lol. Course it was coming to all platforms, Persona doesn't skip PlayStation and Xbox doesn't moneyhat it. They're using Game Pass to build a fanbase, like Yakuza, and Xbox pays them to include it in Game Pass which basically covers the costs of porting. Xbox fans get an IP back on their platform, Atlus gets money, PlayStation fans still keep Persona.
Just doing a quick look on Twitter, I found these.

After 4 Days, Persona 5 Royal is Ranked #12 on Gamepass Most Played List in the US
Pretty good for an IP whose last release on Xbox platforms was 11 years ago for a spinoff and never for a mainline entry. Not to mention, Persona 5 released before Persona 4/3 and some people don't tend to like playing the last entry in a series, Lol. And lets not act like Persona is a massive IP, as of October 2022 it had sold 15.5m units across 18 editions, it wasn't until Persona 5 where it became a big seller.
"That's with no big 1st party releases in 2022 on there" - You realise that the Most Played is almost always populated by 3rd Parties right? You'll always have Fortnite, Call of Duty, Roblox, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, Grand Theft Auto V, Minecraft, Destiny 2 in the Top 10. Alongside a few Sports titles such as NBA/Fifa because these titles are massive sellers on all platforms.
Lol at that end comment. You almost sound upset that Xbox is getting Persona. Jeez my dude, take a break once in a while, Lol. Unless there's a Sony moneyhat then I expect Persona 6 will come to Xbox too, if there is a Sony moneyhat then I'm sure that'll help fund Persona 6 just fine. This post really comes across as you being upset that Persona became multiplatform
