It is a bridge too far I think.

I still expect Persona 6 to be PS4/5 exclusive at launch either because of previous contracts or just Atlus being Atlus, as that would be a very Atlus move after going multiplat on the series

Can you imagine the meltdowns if xbox secured Persona 6 as an exclusive?
I think it will be like Yakuza.

I donât think they market games that arenât day 1 game pass anymore
And most Atlus game marketing is entirely done in Japan.
Notice that Yakuza/Judgment games lately either appear on âneutralâ Sega streams or State of Play recently, because the above reason.
Yes but it will be day one on Xbox from now on. Thatâs what I mean. But wait, didnât Xbox have LAD marketing?
Yes, in the West (because by the time Xbox was marketing it, the game was already out on PS4 in Japan). But that was 2 years ago and things have changed I think. Lost Judgment was a âneutralâ reveal and then had a State of Play spot, Ishin was a State of Play reveal, and then the other 2 new games were âneutralâ reveals. IMO they should have fought to have LAD 8 as the show ender for their TGS show rather than DeathloopâŚ
Xbox does have marketing rights on the Persona ports, I should add. Look what this tweet is only mentioning.

I actually donât think they have marketing rights on Wo Long either despite the day 1 GP inclusion. Marketing stuff mentions other versions. When they had the Scarlet Nexus marketing deal they made sure stuff like this wasnât mentioning PS

I canât pretend I know how their âmarketing dealsâ really work, but I do want them to keep having marketing deals with big Japanese games, to fight the narrative that Xbox canât be a good place for JP games/doesnât care about them, and give a good image of the brand to fans of JP games.

Any recent (new) co-op games been added to Xbox (Game Pass)?
My nephews are gonna be staying next week and for sure weâll play LEGO games again, but we need to switch it up a little too.
I think itâs easier to determine marketing deal when their trailer starts off with the brand and itâs posted in their own channel, not Xbox or PS. For example, Elden Ring trailers donât start with anything; maybe Bamco but no platform. Scarlet Nexus to this day still open with Xbox.

So basically Xbox has partnered with GameStop increasing store profits in exchange for more prominent console placement meanwhile Sony is trolling GameStop calling GameStop a dumb investment.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion lol.

The movie is called dumb money, not exactly a flattering title for GameStop. The two items are unrelated, just an interesting juxtaposition.
