Wow, the OG game must have had like zero legs past its first handful of months. Pretty sure I remember them announcing 1 million not too long after release. Deserves way more!

Yeah when I saw 1.6m I thought it didn't include the original version on switch, just vengeance. This seems quite low

1.1M on Switch is still pretty good. Most single player games do fall off after a year.

1m is okay I guess. It should've sold more, closer to 2m .
SMT nocturne is legendary 4 and 5 are great I don't know why it's not selling like persona. Maybe it's the Japanese name

V on Switch is alone is the best selling SMT of all time. Nocturne is at 500k as second best. SMT is just niche. Atlus is happy. Not everything needs to sell 10 million to be a success. SMT is great but could be the name. Also just fractured releases as they avoided the US for years. Much more difficult than a Pokemon. Mature themes not for everyone.
