How many did it ship?

Upon googling, I haven't found any clear answers as to that.

But considering SEGA's expectations, it must've been quite a lot.

Im gonna go out on a limb... and say their expectations for this game must be higher than any of the previous titles and they probably shipped more than ever.

And it still sold though over 70% of its original shipment day1.

Atlus deserve every damn sale this generates though, persona is a amasing series.

I was on my HK PSN account and saw this available for download...I can't read a lick of Japanese, but I tell you, the temptation was still strong :)

So Persona 5 now claims the #1 spot as the best selling Persona game in Japan on opening week. (Even just counting the PS4 version alone.)

[PS4] Persona 5 (Atlus, 09/15/16) – 264,793 (New)
[PS3] Persona 5 (Atlus, 09/15/16) – 72,794 (New)

Combined that makes for 337,587 units sold first week.

Couldn't have happened for a better game. :)

Assumeing digital copies (~18% or so?) its probably around 400k.

What Im curious about is how it sells world wide.

I hope persona ends up as popular as Final Fantasy some day.
