What does that have to do about this thread? What is your agenda? Point of interest?

 Persona series sales top six million. That is a lot more compared to Xenoblade.

The Persona series has four mainline entries with over a ten releases on multiple platforms.  And those 6+mil includes all those AND spinoffs.  Xenoblade has two entries with three releases and no spinoffs and has only been on two platforms yet has already crossed 2mil.  The joke, which you missed, was you were talking trash cause the original XC had modest sales but then Persona releases have always had modest or weak sales except for Persona 4 Golden.  

 

Oh and Persona is also over 15 years old while Xenoblade is less than 4 years old.  So yeah, not a good comparison at all.

 

Talk about out of context. ok lets get technical. xenoblade chronicles is pretty much already gotten rid off ok, with such a limited release, good luck finding a used one at full price. And don't try to sugarcoat the fact that persona series is a span of 10 games, because that is irrelevant. it's still out there and you can buy it at low price on PSN, and we dont have those numbers.

If you insist on taking the conversation down this route, at least use like-to-like comparisons. If you're serious about this post, then I'm honestly a little shocked you don't see the issue.

Not that sales are really the end-all for a topic like this, but at least be consistent.

 

Let me make myself very clear, I didn't insist on this. I didn't make the comparison.

Someone made a comment about my sig/avatar and compared it. What I said after that is not false.

By the way, I don't insist in taking this any further.

I highly suggest no one to take this any further.

Getting a bit condescending eh?  Frankly I don't even get what point you're trying to make.  The ONLY metric for sales is new sales anyway, once the print is exhausted that's it.  Persona 4 Golden is the only single release of any Persona game to outsell the original Xenoblade Chronicles release in tracked sales.  That's a stone cold fact.  I don't care and no one does about used sales, period.  And current availability via used sales is also a pointless thing to bring up as it is far, far too open to interpretation (could be it gets bought up constantly, could be no one sells it or trades it).  As for digital releases, you would have half a leg to stand on except you wnet with series sales which brings in XC3D (available digitally) and XCX (available digitally).  And I'm not sugarcoating jack with the point that the Persona series is a very long running franchise with ten releases of four mainline games and numerous releases of spinoffs. YOU gloated about the 6+ million sales, YOU compared them to the sales of the Xenoblade series.  YOU took the sales of a series you liked and compared them to one you didn't like without context in order to arbitrarily skew things in favor of that game.  In fact the only reason this discussion happened was because you got snippy with someone who was just making a lighthearted poke at your comment at the start of the thread. You assumed the aggressive stance.  

But I digress.  If you think Persona having some five times the number of releases under its belt than the fledgling Xenoblade doesn't warrant mentioning when comparing SERIES sales, then I don't even know what to say.

Everything you're saying here is out of context. No disrespect, but of course you dont understand my point; I was not talking to you, and you made it even worse.

My first comment in this thread had nothing to do with Persona, I didn't even mentioned it, and you have to audacity to say I started it? You know what, don't even try. Give it a rest, do not take this any further because I'm not anymore. Let the voting polls speak for them self, and take a break, go reevaluate your thoughts.

It's ironic.

Persona does not compare too well sales wise against Mass Effect or Deus Ex.

 

 

 Persona series sales top six million. Nothing to laugh at. That is a lot more compared to Xenoblade.

I'm not talking about Xenoblade. Just Mass Effect 3 sold about the same as the entire persona series. Does that mean Mass Effect is a better series? Hell no!



I'll have to say Deus Ex. Xenoblade is simply a masterpiece for me, Mass Effect i haven't played but certainly look interesting for me but Deus Ex i'm not really interested in, so that one has to go!

I choose Mass Effect 2. I tried to play that game once, but I always just fell asleep, because it's just THAT boring. Seriously. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't play that game. Story is boring, combat is boring, characters are boring, space is ridiculous... I don't have anything good to say about it.

I started Deus Ex some years ago and it was ok. But nothing more. About halfway in I didn't care enough to play any further. I still liked it best out of the three here.

Xenoblade was also boring as hell imo. Not as boring as Mass Effect though. I do remember however that the graphics really turned me off for some reason. I'm normally not a grfxxx guy, I couldn't care less about it and also play Undertale like there's no tomorrow. But something about the looks of Xenoblade really ruined everything for me. I can't put my finger on it, but it made me sick.

Your first comment had nothing to do with Persona, yes, but it had to do with bashing a game that you didnt like with no reason, with a weak argument(that since it didnt sell well, it is bad).And like Nuvendil said, someone just came and made a lightheart joke about your comment, and you got, with all due respect, butthurt.And when people(read Nuvendil) came to correct you or even have a healthy discussion, you got even more butthurt.So please, think about what you write before you write nonsense and insult people.So next time, when talking to people, be more respectful.Thats what separate us from animals.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Deus Ex.

Xenoblade is one of the best RPG in the last decade.
