I admit, I had my doubts that Metaphor would sell well, especially after SEGA claimed that Soul Hackers 2 didn't sell to their expectations, but Metaphor had much more better reviews than SH2, so I think this could become the third pillar Atlus wanted alongsinde Shin Megami Tensei and Persona. Still, we have to remember that most JRPGs initial sales, except for Pokémon, are quite frontloaded, mainly driven by hardcore players and don't tend to have good legs, but perhaps the good word of mouth will help the game, it's just that SEGA and Atlus haven't updated the sales for Persona 3 Reload and I don't think P3R has sold more compared to what Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has sold, but Atlus' games costs less to develop compared to Square-Enix's, so there's that. I'm also interested to see how Metaphor will perform in Japan.
