Persona 5 has done very well for itself indeed. The insanely stylish role-playing release launched in the West earlier this year, and it quickly established the largest worldwide player base in the series' history. Back in July -- just a few months after the game launched -- publisher Atlus announced that total shipments and sales had hit 1.8 million copies.
And now, Persona 5 has officially broken the two million mark. That's a pretty impressive result for a rather niche title, or at least, a title that belongs to a rather niche franchise.
Of course, as far as we're concerned, it deserves all the success that it can get. We still think Persona 5 is one of the best games on the PlayStation 4 -- and one of the very best Japanese RPGs in recent memory.

Game of the year.
Also has the best steel book of the year, if not ever.
Happy for its success, but 2million out of 70-75million PS4s is kind of low. I'm sure Atlas/Sega are happy, but it deserves so much more.
You damn right I contributed
I bought it on ps3 word up son
Picked up a copy in the Black Friday sale, will play it soon but XCOM’s DLC jumped the line and I’m playing that first.
I’m getting this game soon actually. I’m not the the biggest JRPG guy out in there, but I really do want to play it.
Got the take your heart edition on day one. Game is wonderful and is well deserving of its success. Refreshing to see 2 million celebrated for the achievement it is as well
Pretty much the reason I own a PS4 to begin with. It didn't disappoint. Really glad it seems to have resonated with players around the world to such an extent.
I contributed. My copy is still sealed. FML.
@get2sammyb As soon as you unseal it and stick it in the console, though, I'm convinced you'll be hooked.
@Jake3103 We'll see...
I still need to buy it. Other than the very drawn out beginning, I've only heard good things about it.
Got it on Black Friday – now my son won't let me have the PS, he's so into it.
(Do these sales figures still not include digital?)
I have tried repeatedly to get into P4G on my Vita but I just struggled so never tried but I am glad that a game so well regarded has done so well. I think it is great that a game with a smaller audience has flogged that many titles.
Even though I LOVED Horizon, I feel like this was my game of the year. Definitely one of my favorite JRPGS and it caught me by surprise how much I loved it. Well deserved.
Awesome game.not surprised. Best rpg of the year . see how ni no kuni 2 does in January and vampyre in march . im currently in my second playthrough to unlock the demon
Still too expensive for me, so I'll just wait.
My personal game of the year. It deserves the success.
Sometimes P5 sucks you right in and you are participating in an anime. Great game. Well deserved.
Just not as good as p4g.
Hey guys...I'm here to admit I still haven't finished this game
I would but I think I'm too causal for the game. I just wanna have fun.
Amazing game, one of the best on this generation.
Personally I feel like it’s the title that let me down the most among those I hard bene waiting for fo years like TLG or FFXV but it’s a good game and ai am glad it is selling well
I got the game as a early Christmas present last week from a close friend .
Looking forward to playing whenever I have a chance too ^_^.
