The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
Half-Glass Gaming: "Often considered one of the darker entries in Atlus' Persona series, Persona 3 definitely has a sinister vibe to it, and it leans into horror more than you might realize."
Even though Persona 4 and 5 are monumental leaps over Persona 3, a crucial aspect has been lost in the transition.
That's a good point I didn't really think of but it lends to the narrative a lot more than P5 for sure. I also enjoy how much more streamlined the game is and how it doesn't have a 13 hour tutorial.
even though 360 outsold ps3,the ps3 is still selling pretty well.
lets see with those exclusives coming up
Looks like the Madden/Price-cut/BioShock effect has done it's job. Still, Wii outsold them (PS3 & 360) both :(
XBox 360 MK_Red because it doesnt say that any where.
From here on out things are going to be looking better for both PS3 and 360. Both have great lineups this holiday season that will push sales forward.
wii and ds lite ver of madden sell more than ps3 and xbox 360
