Persona 6 looks set to release across multiple platforms on day one

It looks like Persona 6 will release across multiple platforms at once.

In Sega Sammy's quarterly earnings Q&A with investors (as reported by Persona Central), the company's president Haruki Atami teased plans for the next main Persona game, specifically regarding achievable sales targets for the next main game in the series.

"We believe that it would be possible for a major Persona title, such as a numbered release, to sell 5 million copies in its first year by releasing it on multiple platforms and simultaneously worldwide from day one," the Sega Sammy representative director said.

So if Sega wants Persona 6 to sell as well as possible in its first year (which it obviously does), it's going to need to release it on multiple platforms at the same time. This looks to be the direction for Persona 6 when it eventually launches, going by Atami's comments.

This would've been unthinkable for Persona games in past years, but it's now become the new standard for developer Atlus. Persona 5 Royal is now on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo systems, while spin-off Persona 5 Tactica will launch across all platforms simultaneously tomorrow on November 17.
