Why was Persona Q2 such a massive failure when it was better than the original in every way possible?

BING BING 1UP

3DS is dead.

Launched too late in a hardware lifetime.
Also Nintendo hardware dont push 3rd party sales when first party games are on another consoles. That´s why most Jap 3rd party devs dont bother with the Switch.

KAMOSHIDA

MAN

Because EO is shit

These combined with basically 0 marketing outside of Atlus' own streams.

>3DS game at the end of 2018/in mid-2019
Atlus is retarded.

Q2 topped the 3DS charts in every region it was released, and exceeded Atlus' sales expectations, so that alone should tell you the state of the 3DS in 2018/9, as well as how little budget actually went into the game.

>Zero advertising
>Released on the 3DS in 2019
>Pirated copy released like a month before the retail release

>topped 3ds charts
Is that even a thing to brag about when it's the only new game for the system.
It's like the Special Olympics you win by showing up

This may shock and amaze you user, but there were in fact more words typed after that

I know, that's why I only quoted the section I wanted to respond to, that's how green text works.

Wasn't dubbed.

because the first one sucked so everyone knew not to get the sequel

It isn't better than the original game. I call this the minority effect.

This
That pirate copy was everywhere
Hell even Persona Gen had that shit posted everywhere

>better than the original
What kind of stupidity os this?

In terms of gameplay it actually is, though still a step behind the actual Etrian games. Story and character interactions are worse, but a game with 28 playable characters plus NPCs plus OCs was always going to be a trainwreck.

It was more fun to break the game in PQ than PQ2.

3DS is such a terrible piece of hardware man. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about it.

>the absolute state of Jokers Smash inclusion
