It's just as silly to even suggest they would hide what platforms it's coming to is what I'm saying.
How is that ? It's not a first. Not only that but it's not a they as the company but as the american branch.
Cool. No denial of Xbox.
Because nobody asked for it.

I'll wait for a Switch version unless the game is a solid 10/10. Loved Persona 4 a definitely want to play Persona 5, but grinding through long dungeons on the tv doesn't sound really enticing to me. That's why I stopped playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions too.
I like that no matter how you read it and try to follow its logic, it still doesn't make any sense. I bet the Ancient Greeks came up with this logic puzzle and we still can't solve it!
People with Vita can use remote play at least.
Also, something must be off with my Persona 5 copy. I was assured by a certain community manager that the game would release in 2015, but i'm still waiting for my copy. You think I should contact Amazon?
Im pretty sure games get delayed all the time.

Numbers?
Only numbers I can find in a real quick search was from this NPD thread where a member listed DQH as 30k for its first month in America.

Maybe it sold a bit more later but definitely not earth shattering. Tecmo-Koei did PC versions for games like Arslan, I doubt they cost a ton to get out there (and they are generally kinda busted too, Tecmo-Koei has a pretty negative perception to a lot of PC gamers at this point).

Zestiria did ridiculously well on PC, Dragon Quest Heroes bombed like it bombed on consoles. shrug.gif
PC Zestiria had the deal of coming with w free game and no DQH bombed on PC. PS4/3 had Asia to sell 1 million copies iirc and the western debut was in accordance with previous non mainline DQ.

I'm not sure what will be funnier: The inevitable "wait vindicated" posts if these do eventually get ported or the realization that they've denied themselves two great games for an extended period of time just to feel "vindicated".
"See? We were right! I know everyone else played Persona 5 two years ago, but hot damn, we were right!!!"

That's just mean.Like stumpokapow said, it's not like you actually know much until the company needs you to know it, and you wouldn't be able to announce such versions even if you knew about them.
Also, something must be off with my Persona 5 copy. I was assured by a certain community manager that the game would release in 2015, but i'm still waiting for my copy. You think I should contact Amazon?
Does it need to be? It's not like Josh would know if a PC port was being done right now, he doesn't really get such infos until they are actually relevant. And as you've seen, even things he is "pretty sure of" have been wrong.
Now you know how Kamiya felt with people asking about Bayo 2 being ported to other systems.
I bet he had "Go ask your mom" quote on standby when he's on twitter.

very little chill for a PR response
A lot more chill than the time Hardin posted the Bender "oh wait you're serious?" jpg in a gaf thread related to PC ports, that's for sure.
What? A version of P5 in Japan would probably outsell a PC version.
Switch in Japan vs Global PC? I doubt it.

And how is investing another, let's say, $50k to get it properly ported to other platforms to generate a couple more millions in revenue a bad idea
Can you walk you walk us through these numbers?

This thread is hilarious when you consider what the tweets purpose was.
Ah well, atleast post P5 release, the craziness should die down.

Having both would be better.Man, please, fuck that Switch. Why would Nintendo need Persona 5 when it has Mario?
I'd like to see Switch get Tokyo Mirage Sessions Overclocked first anyway though. That game really deserves another shot.
Cool. No denial of Xbox.
No one for even one second has thought they were coming to Xbox that's why - they were labelled to be 'console exclusives', which led to people assuming PC (and for whatever reason) Switch ports were coming.
Leaving money on the table. P5 in particular would be big on PC.
I'll buy it wherever it plays best but I'm not going to lie; I'd much rather have it on PC. Infinite forwards compatibility, better performance, mods.
This. Persona 5 has the potential to become a Dark Souls style blockbuster on the PC. It's one of those games that would do gangbusters because of strong word of mouth.
I'm also one of those folks though that believes in never say never, though. I might have believed it 5 years ago. In this day and age though, a late PC port seems like an inevitability more than anything. The question is how late it is though. Might have to wait a while, and I don't think that's to everybody's taste.

Zestiria had the deal of coming with a free game on pre-order. That accounts for 90K of the sales. What about the other 200k ?
DQH bombed in West, period. Let's also remember the PC version was stealth released out of nowhere 2 months after the PS4 version.

I believe it's not coming to PC.
But I definitely think they'll eventually release a version of Persona 5 on Switch.

PC gamer entitlement is off the charts.FACT: every game that isn't an IP of a first party console manufacturer should be on PC.

Considering that Vanquish still consistently is asked for on PC for the last 6 years I don't really think people are going to stop asking for Persona 5.
Look at the NPD numbers for DQH and compare them to the Steam copies.PC Zestiria had the deal of coming with w free game and no DQH bombed on PC. PS4/3 had Asia to sell 1 million copies iirc and the western debut was in accordance with previous non mainline DQ.

It's not according 8-4.
Wait, what? Do tell...
When is port begging good and when is it bad?
If PC gamers didn't port beg they probably wouldn't have Valkryia Chronicles and Dark Souls on PC
Unless there's like some bit where Sony has funded the development of Persona 5 like Nintendo did with Bayonetta 2, then I'd be anti-port beg. But if not, how else do PC gamers show Atlus that there is support to bring Persona 5 to PC?

And? Lots of games were confirmed to be released in 2016, but was moved to 2017 and so on.
Should I not trust Atlus PR cause he was wrong about persona 5 to be released in 2015?

I haven't been following the price of the game so I don't know. Stop trying to equal the catastrophic bomb that was the PC version to PS4. PS4 SKU sold plentiful in Asia. In the West it did not bomb, though it did not do well.

Well you never know, Atlus has a stellar reputation about porting their games to other platforms after the fact.

The game had just shy of 60k in pre-orders/first day sales when it launched.

Persona 4 Golden on Vita was fantastic. A P6 Vita will never happen, but it would be fantastic if it did.

Why is this funny? Is there a reason to believe that a Vita version wouldn't outsell a PC version?
Is Yakuza 0 60fps on the PS4? I'm fine not playing P5 on PC since the PS4 version is already 60fps.
The PS4 version is not 60fps for Persona 5. I believe Yakuza 0 is though.
A petition? But I mean...they can always just buy it on the PS4
A petition counts as port begging? At least I thought so.
so does this end the port begging?
it's only just beginning

Actually it sold a bit less on its first month than Steam LTD. Pretty decent considering DQH was a late port that was just dropped on the store one day without any marketing.
Japanese companies have shown time and time again they don't really know how to do business.Oh please. That's not how business works you big baby.

I'm sorry the PC potato race has to constantly port beg.
"The only thing I can confirm about Persona 5 is 2015"
It got delayed ?
Oh wait, I remember you from that other thread - you're the guy who said Nioh will definitely be on PC within a year or two.
