Persona 6 rumour (PS5 exclusive?)

[Remij]

Phil definitely went to Sega and dropped a lot of cash to ensure that Persona doesn't exclude Xbox in the future.

Would not be surprised to see this game announced at an Xbox show and follow the same Xbox marketing strategy as the rereleases of P3P, P4G, P5R of a few days where there's no mention of any other platforms than Xbox and Win10.. and then the rest of the platforms get an announcement.

They are still not allowed to advertise the PlayStation and Nintendo versions on the Sega or Atlus channel for Yakuza, Persona and Re Fantazio. Only Xbox and the views are terrible.

Sega killed any momentum for their flagship series for a MS check. Xbox only marketing killed any interest or sales potential. The same will happen to Persona 6.

What did the tweet say?

It's still believable due to Xbox having the marketing for the rereleases.

If that happens (and given the history of questionable business decisions from Sega since, well, since the early '90s), then the IP is as good as dead on non-Xbox platforms. If there's one company aside from Microsoft that knows how to take their customer base for granted and screw them over multiple times into oblivion, it's Sega.

Basically this. For these types of companies, it's the customers who buy your games who are your most important money-people. They're the reason you're valuated in draw in shareholders & investors in the first place. But too easily, these game publishers seem to be forgetting that, and in some cases they pay a massive price.

I think MS's partnership with Sega in the OG Xbox days was better. That resulted in actual exclusives, and with games that for the most part had no audience on other consoles besides Sega's own. So it didn't involve misleading exclusivity marketing embargos to trick people into thinking otherwise multiplat games were exclusive to their own console.

Unless MS actually have a marketing deal with Sega on these games. In which case, they should be more transparent and forthcoming, but they probably don't want to look like hypocrites.

After Persona 3, 4 and 5 I think this series need a big change in the formula. Older protagonists and a more serious story would be much better.

I never played Persona 2 but I think it was not set in high school.

It will never happen. This game is heavily catered towards the Japanese audience, younger protagonists and less serious stories is what they love.

One of the reasons why I have no interests in it. I stopped playing persona 5 after a a few agannozing hours trying to like it.

Persona 1 and 2 felt more dark and I loved them.
But after Persona 5 reviews they dont need a big change Or wont get one

Maybe it was because it was my first time playing them and I didn't have any reference but Persona 3 and 4 had a very mysterious vibe that I feel was just lost by the time I got to PS5. I realize that PS5 was trying to do the same thing again but it doesn't work as well as the first few times.

PS5 above anything was too bloated but people liked it more that way I guess.

Yep, Persona 2 was with college students. The only Persona game to do so, and I think that benefited the story a lot. I've only played some of Eternal Punishment though, not Innocent Sin.

Part of the reason these newer ones don't appeal to me is because of the high school setting. I don't have any lingering to relive my high school years and don't feel a need to try pretending I was popular back then through a video game. I'd much rather play SMT 5 but currently it's Switch-only and I can't justify playing it at sub-30 FPS on that system.

Catered to Japanese audiences yet all current marketing for P3 Remake tied to Xbox. You can't make this up

At this point I can believe it. Wasn't P6 supposed to already be on the way, or release earlier?

Seems like a FF XIII situation where the game gets delayed on PS5 so that Atlus can make an Xbox version ready for Day 1, thanks to $3 trillion mega-conglomerate Microsoft's money.

These games catering to the Japanese market is exactly the point. MS wants to get back in there. It won't happen over night but these deals/partnerships accumulate over time. MS had a pretty good relationship with Japan during the 360 era. It can happen again and Sony's letting it happen.

Yep. That's the long-term strategy and it doesn't seem like Sony have any interest in securing that type of content.

But hey a few Dark Souls inspired games from unproven devs not coming out for several years (and Day 1 on PC anyway when that happens) supposedly more than makes up for it.

What exactly can happen again? They’ve been trying since the 360. Even then they only sold a couple million.

These so called deals are just talking points. They won’t amount to anything.

Nintendo owns Japan.

I don't think you understand the Japanese market at all.

Maybe @Bodycount611 can let us know how much Japan cares about Xbox.

What have they secured that will make them relevant in Japan over playstation?

I don’t know what’s going with people.

One hint of MS doing something and motherfuckers go crazy. lmao.

None of what they’re doing, excuse me, trying to do in Japan means anything.

They hang around Xbox shills and listened to their rubbish. Alot of their talking points are from these shills, hillarously they don't know that they are parroting those shills.
