retards who buy the blatant cashgrabs need to be punished

>we released sonic shadow generations and it sold 2.3 million units!
>he takes the example of the launch of metaphor refantazio selling 2 million units
>and uhhh we released yakuza pirate like a dragon in hawaii

Phantasy Star Online is so dead that its not even mentioned.

It did much better in the West, I'd be surprised if it sold that much in Japan.

I mean I'm sure these games are rather low budget can't imagine it being high since they're not movie slop. Except for Yakuza which has a ton of cutscenes but those games are like 90% asset reuse

As much I'd love to see SEGA go bankrupt again, Sammy is not going to let that happen

SMT V is the least cashgrab thing on there though
it's the opposite of a cashgrab, they could've named it "Persona 6" and left the game mostly the same but with dating sim mechanics tacked on, and it'd have sold double

sega really lucked out by acquiring atlus. their holding company folded and they were forced bought. its not like they were begging to be a sega party.

Sega has been dead since 2003, who gives a fuck.

smtvv is a blatant cash grab and is what i was talking about
they sold 96x more copies in FY25 compared to FY24 for 3 hours of content

>>713304342
Maybe, but you could also look at it like people waiting for the inevitable re-release because >atlus
So the total sales might be around the same. I doubt many people bought SMT V then also bought SMT VV
Metaphor might have this phenomenon going on too, if I were interested in buying it I sure as shit wouldn't be buying the first release.

wow, Persona fans literally are just Persona fans and don't care about JRPGs
