Wow thats a lot less then I would have thought. Great for Atlus but with all the attention it gets online I was thinking it was doing at least 5 mill with every entry

Agreed. Felt the same way about the recent yakuza series total sales, but never the less both series are selling better now than ever so im happy. Huess i just underestemated the nicheness of such japanese games. Persona 4s most widely refuarded version is kn the Vita of all things after all. The gosh darn VITA!

Persona was never big until 5, it was a niche RPG and like most turn based RPGs, was in the shadow of Final Fantasy.

5 (and Royal) make up nearly 50% of this. 5's design and style in a era where turn based RPGs were apparently ridiculed for being "old" was a welcome change and they are using that success to try and get more out of the older games now with the P3 remake.

I think if they had made 6 by now, it would have 25 mil plus by now easy and would surpass P5's first week sales by double.
