The long-awaited latest instalment in the Shin Megami Tensei series, Shin Megami Tensei V, recently launched on the Nintendo Switch and has been well-received. The JRPG is currently exclusive to the Nintendo Switch family of systems and speaking at the SEGA Sammy Management Meeting 2021, the company told investors that sales of the game have “been quite good.” We heard yesterday that Japanese sales tracker Famitsu announced that Shin Megami Tensei V has shifted 800,000+ copies worldwide, which means that it has already surpassed Shin Megami Tensei IV’s lifetime sales. Here’s what SEGA has told investors:
“At this point, the marketing of each title has been very successful and the sales status of “Shin Megami Tensei V”, which was just released recently has been quite good.”

So then no reason why not start on Shin Megami Tensei VI then. That way we can be playing it before 2028 if they immediately begin work now and not wait like Nintendo does.
