Atlus has announced that the Persona series has slid past 22 million copies sold, releasing a special Persona 3 Reload trailer, "Promise", to celebrate. It's an impressive milestone, one which demonstrates how vast the gulf between the various players in the space remains; Final Fantasy, for comparison, has sold more than 180 million units across its admittedly much more extensive catalogue, and Dragon Quest racking up some 88 million, with both IP owned by Atlus competitor and OG RPG publisher, Square Enix.
The Persona series began on PS1 in 1996 with Revelations: Persona, a spinoff of Atlus' mainline Megami Tensei series, which would be played far more widely when it was released on PSP in 2009 as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona.
