Persona 4 The Golden Causes PlayStation Vita Sales Surge

PlayStation Vita saw a tiny sales surge in last week's sales chart in the buildup to Persona 4 The Golden's release. But the real surge came in this week's chart as the system more than doubled its weekly sales to 34,459 units.

Hah! Yay for Persona 4! Can't wait to buy this, day one. Definitely one of my favorite RPGs ever.

PoSTedUP4319d ago

i just bought one just for this game. = ]
favorite rpg/jrpg franchise of all time.

Eyanxw4319d ago

Considering persona wasnt really a world renowned title (released 2 yrs late in the ps2 lifespan) , it did exceptionally well in Japan. Wasn't expecting it to top the charts.

Canary4319d ago

Er, Persona is one of the higher-profile, mainstream RPG series out there. Or at least it has been since the wildly popular Persona 3.

If you didn't expect it to top the charts, that just means you haven't been paying attention.

For several years.

Eyanxw4319d ago

I recently started P3P and absolutely loved it but when i asked my friends who were console gamers abt it, they didnt know abt it. So i just assumed it was a low profile game that released late in the ps2s life

Cryptcuzz4319d ago

Glad the PSV got a small boost in sales. I hope after TGS, things would pick up big time for the system. I really want it to do well so more awesome games like Gravity Rush can be made.

RufustheSage4319d ago

Not really surprised! Can't wait for it here!

McSpermie4319d ago

At this point it's one of the only reasons to own one, not very surprised. I really wish this was also getting a PSN release.

I hope there will also be a physical version, kind of doubt it though.

Surprising they are skipping the Switch btw (for now at least).

notachance675d ago

I feel like they’re still working things out with Nintendo because of SMT series exclusivity on that platform, because if Persona ever comes out on Switch the other platforms will be asking for SMT ports too.

Nyxus675d ago

Yeah just port everything to all platforms at this point.

Neonridr675d ago

I mean the Switch does have some Persona titles. Just not the core entries.

LOGICWINS675d ago

Hoping for a physical Series X edition as well!

autobotdan675d ago

Maybe Limited Run games will make limited time physical discs for xbox persona games. Since LR just recently just started including xbox limited physical orders

Nyxus675d ago

Yeah but from what I understand Sega isn't really willing to let them publish their games. They tried releasing a physical version of Yakuza 5 but they couldn't get it. Eventually Sega released it themselves as part of the Remastered Collection.

Sirk7x674d ago

It's possible it's coming to Switch as well, and Nintendo wants to announce it themselves during a Direct, but who knows.

DrDoomer675d ago (Edited 675d ago )

Sucks that they just went with a straight port of Portable. Would have been perfect if it was FES with the added content from P3P and proper 3D free roaming. Would've been the definitive version I always wanted.

CrimsonWing69674d ago

Yea I scratched my head when I saw P3P instead of FES…

Lexreborn2675d ago

Who didn’t see this happening though? Sega can make money off of old games at retail price. That’s a easy yes

RPGer675d ago

The content and quality of Yakuza and Persona franchises deserve $59.99/49.99 tag price. I just hope they will dodge that absurd $69.99.

Silly gameAr675d ago

Yeah, because 10 more bucks is highway freaking robbery. Do they think gamers are trillionaires? We deserve our games to be 10 dollars cheaper, because that's what we demand!

CBaoth674d ago

sounds like you should be buying a series S n a GP sub. Join the welfare club if a tenner guts you

Shadowsteal674d ago

"Absurd $69.99"

Games have been $59.99 since 2005. That's 17 years!

It costs $70 to go to and from work for many people due to gas prices but God forbid you spend the same on a video game lol.

CrimsonWing69674d ago

From my understanding all next-gen games will now be $70 because, well because the game industry is greedy.

TheGreatGazoo30674d ago

These and all the Yakuza games are in GamePass, just play them there instead of paying retail.

GoodGuy09675d ago

Niiice. Bout time it got announced....I feel bad for switch owners though lol. Would be a huge seller there which is really confusing.

PhoenixUp675d ago

Why not ps4 a s well fo rd p3 and p4

MrNinosan675d ago

And N64 while at it.
It's 2022, time to move on now.

Sirk7x674d ago

Would be nice, is PS5s were readily available. I'd probably buy one right now if I could find any in stock, despite not really needing it at the moment xD

PhoenixUp674d ago

@ Mr

What a ridiculous response

These titles are still coming to Xbox One as well, so it's even more absurd for them not to be on PS4. Especially since a large swath of titles are still arriving on the very relevant PS4

Sega will "aggressively" focus on PC ports after Steam strength during lockdown

Strong sales of Persona 4: Golden port will lead to more Sega catalogue titles on PC

It only makes sense. I expect to finally see the hd definitive version of p3 by the end of the year.

whitbyfox1337d ago

Request no. 12,364: bring Persona 4 Golden to current/next gen consoles please.

SegaGamer1337d ago

Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colours and Persona 5 are my top picks.

Olly_S1337d ago

Just give me Sonic 2 and a couch co-op option and I'm yours for life.

Teflon021337d ago

I'm pretty sure Sonic 2 allows 2 player on steam lol. Unless I misunderstood what you mean

gold_drake1336d ago

sonic 3 + knuckles co-op would be neat

Teflon021337d ago

Yes, definitely need to bring over Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours.

P5 I definitely ain't complaining about either. I still haven't played through royal for backlog reasons. If I can get a PC version instead. I'm not complaining

Teflon021337d ago

I'm even surprised by how well it did. But I was one who bought on day one. Despite it coming out of no where. Loved the game on Vita. Hopefully they'll bring a version of Persona 3 that's a mix between combat from P3P, female and male protag, as well as the complete 3d game like FES etc. Basically the version where you get the best of everything, no compromise

GoodGuy091337d ago

Yes bring over all the persona titles. Keep em alive
