The latest UK charts have been published for the week ending 13th November and it is good news for both Atlus and Nintendo as Shin Megami Tensei V has entered the Top Ten at No.9 this week. There were a few other new releases this week which entered the Top Ten including Frontier’s Jurassic World: Evolution 2 which launched at No.6 and Forza Horizon 5 which was awarded 92 on Metacritic made its debut at No.4, despite being included in Xbox Game Pass. Here’s the GfK Top Ten for the week ending 13th November, 2021:
“Next on the new game list is Nintendo Switch exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V at No.9. JRPGs are typically a niche genre in the UK, but compared to other recent releases the title fared quite well. Launch boxed sales are 60% higher than February’s Bravely Default II (also Switch), 43% higher than June’s Monster Hunter Stories 2 (Switch again) and 23% higher than September’s Tales of Arise (PlayStation and Xbox platforms).”

So the million dollar question is now that the developers see their creations selling will they immediately start on the 6th sequel or be dumb like Nintendo and dont do nothing for 15 years?
Happy to see SMT selling and receiving great reviews. Just like all the other smt’s it brings that disturbingly dark presence.
Persona brought more popularity to the series but is much more tame in comparison.
