Forums - Sales - Persona 4 Golden Vs. Persona 3 Portable

BlowoverKing on 19 May 2013

 

Pretty insane really how well Persona 4 Golden has sold considering what platform it was released on. It also looks like Persona 5 being on the Vita is a realistic possiblity since most fans of the series probably own a Vita now. TBH I think Persona 5 will be on both PS3 and Vita.

 

*NOTES*

 

  • Persona 3 Portable STD     -551,058-     PSP Hardware sales at launch     -52,909,501-    Currently -79,065,322
  • Persona 4 Golden STD        -432,528-     PSV Hardware sales at launch    -02,083,765-    Currently -05,123,576
  • Persona 4 (PS2) STD            -820,000-
  • Persona 3 (PS2) STD            -660,000-
  • Persona 3 FES STD               -630,000-
  • Both games are available digitally so actual sales may vary but odds are P4G sold more digitally than P3P.
  • You should own both of these games

I think if Persona 5 DOES release on PS3 and Vita, I'll buy it on Vita, since I've got 3 and 4 on it anyways, lol.

Either way, P4G has had pretty amazing sales considering the userbase of the console... what were the sales of Persona 3 on the PS2 by the way? It'd be interesting to compare them too.


I'd buy both especially if it was cross save. Persona 3 sold aroung 660,000 and FES sold 630,000. I'll add that to the OP.

What's the difference between the normal and FES versions? Is it just a rerelease with added content, and was it also released on the PS2, or was it a PSP title? o.O The only ones I've heard of are Persona 3 and P3P lol.


Yep just a re-release (still on PS2) with more Personas, fixed bugs, and I think added a social link or two. I only own FES on PS3 through PS2 classics so I don't exactly know everything that was changed.

Wow, for a rerelease, especially on the same console, that's amazing!

Yep and I forgot to mention FES has "The Answer" which adds an epilogue to play through explaining why the ending played out like it did. Adds a lot to the game and a reason for people to buy FES even if they bought the original.

Can't wait for Persona 5. Although I really hope it is for the Vita. I prefer JRPG games on handhelds

Don't use VGC sales for these games. We know they're overtracked. OG Persona 4 being the worst of the bunch, most likely.


Has Atlus release official figures?

The only official figures that Atlus released that I know of are for Persona 4 PS2.

http://www.siliconera.com/2009/10/06/well-how-many-copies-did-persona-4-and-devil-survivor-sell/

The game sold 110k in its first 7 months (Dec 2008 release - July 2009 sales cutoff), where it will have sold its most amount of copies. VGC has Persona 4 at 340k in NA...

JRPG tracking here is pretty bad so you can assume all the sales figures for these games for outside of Japan are overtracked.


Well VGChartz adjusted P4G down nearly 90k after the holiday's so i'm going to say its pretty accurate.

I don't think you can assume that at all.
