Not bad for the port of a 13 year old game
Ever since its surprise launch onPersona 4 Goldenon PC last summer, there’s been a decent amount of chatter about PC versions of other Atlus games. Sega have said that the port’s success on PC had themconsidering more PC portsin general and they’ve now attached a recent number as context for that consideration. P4 Golden has now sold over a million copies on Steam, Atlus say, which sure does seem decent for the port of a game from 2008.Atlus announced the milestone numberon Twittertoday, though that’s really about all they had to share, aside from a reminder that P4 Golden iscurrently discountedfor the Steam Summer Sale.If wrapping your noggin around sales figures isn’t your strongsuit any more than it is mine, here are a couple to measure against. Atlus announced atotal of 1.3 million salesforPersona 5 Strikersin April, which seems to be across all platforms since its launch in February 2020. Another Sega studio, Ryu Ga Gotoku,recently announcedthat they’d passed the one million sales mark for their PlayStation exclusiveYakuzaseries spinoff Judgement, which launched initially in December 2018.Persona 4 Golden PC Is A Basic Port Of An Amazing JRPG | Persona 4 Golden PC ReviewWatch on YouTubeThere’s only so much to be done with apples and oranges, but the timelines to to similar figures do maybe help to illustrate why Sega are keen to push for more PC ports. They said just last month that they wantfuture Atlus games to release worldwide, on multiple platforms, at launch.That will certainly be welcome around these parts, I imagine. RPS’sPersona 4 Golden reviewcalls it “a JRPG classic newly brought to PC, with all its peculiar magic intact in spite, and sometimes because of, the bareness of its port.“Persona 5 Strikers has also since hit PC (as has Atlus’sShin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster), though it’s got exactly eight more letters than the Persona game I gather most folks really want to see make the jump.Indeed, Ed saysit’s about time we got Persona 5 on PC. With a few Atlus game ports under their belt, and some sales figures to celebrate, I imagine Sega might be saying the same thing right about now.
