Is Persona 5 Royal A Major Game Changer For Xbox? | Defining Duke Episode 95

Xbox fans have made many declarations to bring Persona to their beloved box and, finally, it has arrived. This week sees the re-launch of Persona 5 Royal, but for many; it's the first time they are arriving in Shujin Academy. Xbox fans have responded in kind as Persona 5 Royal has reached the top 10 for played games on consoles. Does this signify a major turning point for Xbox's battle in Japan? Could other Japanese developers be taking note of such a surge on the platform and be willing to play ball with the oft neglected platform? As Cog dives in for the first time and Matty watches like a proud dad, we get into the thick of things in Shibuya. Beyond the region of Japan, we move our attention to China where the status quo is shifting dramatically. It is reported by Reuters that Xbox is assembling a team to scout talent throughout China after missing out on the ever popular Genshin Impact. This has major implications for the brand moving forward and we have much to say on it. Beyond that, it was a busy week for Xbox Game Studios across Bethesda, Arkane, and World's Edge! Indeed, this episode truly feels like a bit of a preview on what Defining Duke conversations will be like in 2023. GAMES! Get some Defining Duke merch!

How do you guys feel about "PREPARE TO LIE" as a Lies of P slogan? I'm shocked I haven't seen it anywhere yet.

Everybody looking to play PERSONA 5 ROYAL, listen to Matty's disclaimer at 2:36:42! Wish I'd heard this before I started the game last year 😥 Didn't max Maruki. Didn't get to play the Royal content. Found out I'd have to rip the entire 120 hour game all over again to unlock it, so I just watched it on YouTube.. and it was astounding. I feel beyond cheated that I didn't get to experience it for myself.

There has been Fallout Isometric turn-bases games, Fallout FPS games, a Fallout ARPG, Fallout Mobile games, Fallout can be and has been other things. A full blown Fallout FPS made by Machine Games would be dope.

For the JRPG topic at the end, I feel that they have to put a huge stake in the ground not with FF as it's clear to see that Sony is fighting tooth and nail for that franchise, but make for god damn sure that Dragon Quest 12 is on their platform, better if they can work out a gamepass deal for it, but you can NOT lose out on the next Dragon quest game in my eyes.

In defence of the Cloud hypocrisy...the 20m users being quoted probably don't tell the full story. In reality that number is probably 20m logons. I wouldn't be surprised if a decent proportion of that 20m just tried the services once or twice and don't actively use it regularly. So I don't think what they said to the CMA is totally disingenuous, more that the figure they have been slapping around for XCloud is a carefully curated number that doesn't paint the true picture.

Death Stranding is a masterpiece and one of the most unique and memorable games I've ever played. For anyone who hasn't played I'd see be patient and give it 5-10 hours to get sucked into the beautiful and haunting atmosphere, music and story and you'll even start to enjoy the gameplay as you constantly unlock new gear and help from other players to make traversal easier and faster

Is Matty wearing a daredevil sweatshirt??? That’s the first thing that comes to mind seeing the red color with DD on it

Persona 5 Royale feels like a familiar family member. You remember seeing them ages ago as Persona 5 but they have matured into Persona 5 Royale and damn have I missed this family member.
