EA's fault. Gamers attention span in late November is short.

Also, RPGs like that can't go toe-to-toe with GTA, Halo, Far Cry, COD and blockbusters of that type.

lol got to get Persona ;)

Would be excellent if they could get Persona 5 on Xbox. Trying to resist having to buy a PS4, but Persona might be a bit too alluring for me -_-

I think the best bundle MS can make in December is Xbox One w/ EA Access.

Xbox One w/ 6 games for $349 and I bet EA will champion the *uck out of it.

I'm thinking on getting a used PS3 just for it, meanwhile if nothing changes(Xbox version) I will still wait some months for the vita version to be announced.

Actually JRPG games on X360 sell in the west decently as long as theyre well known games.  Tales, Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy etc can be named.  The same would likely apply to Persona 5 if given the chance.

Skyrim managed it, but Skyrim had tons of hype behind it. It doesn't help that MS didn't advertise Dragon Age as much as some of their other marketing deal games this year, nor did they bundle it. Hopefully it'll win GOTY on Friday, should boost it's sales if it does.

Elder Scrolls have the biggest RPG following on the consoles. Dragon Age isn't even on the Mass Effect magnitude.

EA should've saved it for Q1-Q2 2015 like The Witcher 3.

If P4A can sell 110k copies on Xbox (more with digital included) surely a main series Persona game can sell at least a few 100k on Xbox. 


No good enough though...
