Media Create didn't share Pokemon 2DS numbers and maybe Famitsu will do the same.
I imagine them and I don't see them very different.

They could take the Persona 3 FES route instead and rerelease it on PS4/PS3 with additional content.

That's a handy 17,220.18% increase for PS4.
Clearly saw all the Yakuza 6 trailers.

In the world of DLC that wouldn't fly so easy.
A goty style rerelease with all DLC of course, but people ain't gonna buy the same game twice when they can buy just the extra content

I don't think Persona we'll be getting a portable version this time. However, I do believe that it will be getting an enhanced version on the same platform(s).
I honestly believe will be lower than this week.

I might missed this from previous threads, but did Famitsu ever say why their weekly update timing is kinda irregular now?
Think the baseline for PS4 will be around 25-30k after slim and P5?
Even with NX being easy to port to (we hope)

Ah that's true, DLCs could work too.
I'm pretty sure that's quite likely to happen but I don't think it'll sell as well as a portable version.
20 - 22k seems like a more realistic baseline
Looking back, its pretty much point for point, around where we were last year with the price drop, just that then it was two weeks and no major release (MGSV had been 55k prior).
So probably expect the same end result too, should see the PS4 re-stabilize around ~22. It had more recently started slipping under the 20k baseline as well.
No.
A lower number?
I expect PS4 to remain over 25k all this year.
This is completely the fanboy in me, but I'm happy Persona 5 sold better than Berseria, even though I've heard it's quality.
Don't think it'll be any different. Dark Souls has been doing this consistently. Dragon's Dogma also did this. The main reason people buy a game again is to have it on another platform, which is why P4G sold so much more than P3 Fes. I don't think a retail re-release with a P5 expansion + PS4 Pro upgrades would do worse than P3 Fes did on the PS2, even with a DLC version of the expansion on PSN.
With releases coming, you're probably more right than I am on second thought. Especially entering holiday and the leggier western releases coming to market.
Why is everyone ruling out a portable version anyway?
There's a portable releasing in March which should be perfectly capable of running it.

Time to move on from PS3 Japan.
Unlikely. the best selling Persona is the first and sitting at 391,556 LTD.

The great thing would have been a simultaneous release of FFXV and PS4 Pro actually ! There will be the PS4 Luna Edition to help the hardware sales though.
So, any gentle soul to post some previous numbers for PES ?
Certainly not as an exclusive, if that were the case.
But that's completely irrelevant to the market conditions today. Persona is not the franchise it was then, and the audience is different from the audience then. I think it will be hard for P5 to cross 500k in retail alone without the help of a budget re-release and an expansion re-release. But I feel pretty confident that Atlus will put out a press release before the international release saying they have shipped over 500k of Persona 5 retail+digital. Seems like a no brainer to me.
The Ps4 Sim special FF XV edition is rocking Amazon Japan charts since it was announced so it must be a big seller over there.

Is this (going to be) Atlus's first million seller WW? Or did P4G do it too?
Nice week for PS4, soon to pass Wii U. Solid week for 3DS too, why the near double from last week?

500k on initial release? Naw. But Persona 1 has nothing to do with that.
Why wouldn't it be?
I mean we're talking about a hypothetical but Persona 4 Golden was Vita exclusive.
Didn't Trauma Center Second Opinion do that?
Persona 4 sold even less. The market and the audience for Persona hasn't changed. The franchise isn't showing much growth in Japan.
Hopefully Media Create mentions them in their weekly report (with the Top 50), but I'm not holding my breath.
Famitsu is regularly late now, though how late isn't set in stone for some reason. Not sure why.
????????????????
Amazon Japan is not the giant that other Amazon's around the world are . Its not really relevant in the retail japanese space.
FFXV bundles will do great anyway thoug, but not this megaton some are expecting
They may need to be cool with sony too.
Or Vita can run P5pro with some downgrade like on P3P.
2DS just came our.

already explained before, 2DS normal release
Persona seems pretty established on the PlayStation ecosystem. It wouldn't make business sense to make a Persona mainline game exclusive to the NX.

I don't think there are any valuable conclusions to be made by comparing the first Persona with 5.
