Persona franchise breaks six million sold worldwide

persona-3

Atlus‘ Persona franchise has been around for quite some time, but only in recent years has it proven to be a monster hit. Before 2006’s Persona 3, not many had even bothered to pick up one of the other two games in the RPG franchise released in North America. Thanks to the revolution Persona 3 kicked into gear though, the franchise has now sold 6 million copies worldwide.

SEGA’s fiscal reports state these figures, seeing as how the company acquired up Atlus this year.

“In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, the Group will launch new titles mainly for the Group’s mainstay IP including ‘Persona5‘ which will be the latest title from the Persona series boasting over 6 million total copies sold along with implementing transitions of IP for packaged games such as ‘Total War‘ series into digital games mainly in overseas.”

SEGA’s sales results only mention the figures of Persona 4 Ultimax, the only game in the franchise that came out in 2014.

  • Alien Isolation (PS4, XBO, PS3, 360, PC) – 2,110,000 (US, Europe)
  • Football Manager (PC) – 810,000 (US, Europe)
  • Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (PS3, 360) – 280,000 (US, Europe, Japan)
  • Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U) and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (3DS) – 620,000 (US, Europe, Japan)
  • Yakuza 0 (PS4, PS3) – 380,000 (Japan)

What games are we looking at here? We have Revelations Persona and its PSP remake, both chapters of Persona 2 and their PSP remakes, Persona 3 and its FES and PSP re-releases, Persona 4 and its re-release of Golden, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, and the two versions of Persona 4 Arena. Persona 4 Dancing All Night and Persona 5 will be joining them this year.

6 million seems about right with the majority falling on Persona 3 and Persona 4’s shoulders.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
