| Sogreblute said: You can see the huge spike in sales for Persona 5 Royal when it finally got a multiplatform release. Despite being on Gamepass the game sold more in it's launch window than the PS4 in it's launch window. This should be a perfect example as to why 3rd party publishers are doing multiplatform for most if not all their games. |
Why would they regret not making a Switch version when Persona 5 itself proves that late ports can still sell heaps? They'll eventually get those extra sales from Switch 2 in addition to platform holders's money, and a ton of double/triple dippers. Why change a strategy that is obviously working?
PC and Switch versions of Persona 5 Royal may indeed beat the PS4+PS5 versions, because many Persona fans only bought the original and refuse to fall to Atlus's greed. Atlus didn't offer an upgrade path from vanilla Persona 5, or from Royal PS4 to PS5. They're the greediest motherfuckers in the business. I finished Persona 5 on PS4 and skipped not just Persona 5 Royal, but also Metaphor, because I know they have an "ultimate" version in the works that won't offer an upgrade path.
