Atlus has been around for decades but their games have always been niche

😭

16 selling well when it released isn't news, that's to be expected

yes but recently it has now picked up ever since 5

Yes, and that was almost a decade ago with still not a new game

In some ways sure, but not all across the board

And fans are getting restless for 6

metaphor was praised like Clair yet here we are still not breaking it

Atlus is still gaining more sales but they are still a niche company

Yeah like,

Even in Japan lmao

THATS THE PROBLEM

Again, Clair is from a brand new studio with a new IP, any and all sales they do is good for what they are doing in their league

The comparison isn't to 16

Before the merger, Square was number 2 (maybe 1), Enix was number 1 (maybe 2), but Atlus has always been behind them.

Thats before HAL came along with Pokémon mind you.

Its like comparing GTA with Mafia, yeah I guess they are similar enough but ones success doesn't define the other

They are a league on their own

they still in the same genre

Mafia selling 5 million is huge

GTA doing that is horrible

Hell in Japan Persona is more popular than Shin Megami, so like

Some things are just how they are because lol

when you compare games in a genre it matters

And that's because of the precedent both companies have already set on their own

Yeah im with Ot on this one, Clair doing sick numbers is huge.

if you compare cod to a mario game thats a stupid comparision

Bro who is saying that

again thouggh theres a reason for that

its not anime

Not saying you're wrong or nothing but like

I dont think its that simple

it really is

I don't really get what you are arguing anymore so I will just leave here
