Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has sold 500,000 copies in just three days, pushing Atlus’s original JRPG series closer to its popular spin-off series, Persona, regarding overall sales.
Just earlier this year, Persona 3 Reload sold one million copies in one week, meaning that after three days, Vengeance has actually been outpacing the Atlus remake in terms of copies sold. I can’t see Vengeance outselling Persona 3 Reload, personally, but it’s still a great debut.
Hopefully good news for all involved, then - especially as we near the release of Atlus' next effort, Metaphor: ReFantazio, later this year.
“It’s definitely harder than Persona”:Shin Megami Tensei lead explains that his new JRPG Metaphor: ReFantazio needed more challengeor else “it won’t feel right.”
