Why didn't I hear this before? Sounds quite cool.

Judging by the number of JRPGs we see on handhelds vs how many are on home consoles, I guess its safe to say that these games do way better on the former than the latter.
Even if they are rarely released here in the west, the Japanese sales alone are good enough that makes developers continue releasing these games on Vita and other handheld devices.
I Agree, the game will be bigger than P3 - P4, especially since it will be available on a current (soon to be old) console. So, you won't get any argument about that from me.
I just don't think it'll be as big as you guys are hoping for. I guess at the end of the day all we can do is to just wait and see how it plays out. Even though I don't see it happening, I'll be more than happy to eat crows if the game does manage to achieve huge numbers like 2 - 3 million sales in its first year.
Unfortunately we don't have exact numbers for these games, but in case of Catherine we at least have this.

I don't think the same could be said about P4G. Though, I might be wrong.
Square Enix Advanced Maneuvers TM.
1 million in Japan alone? In the whole 10 years life span of PS3 in Japan, there are no more than 5 games did that. FFXIII amd RE5 made it pass 1 million. MGS4 and GT5 were close to it or they did it eventually, and that's about it.
When it comes to Japan console market, you just can't assume too much. And Persona is not as established as any of the franchises above by any means.
I think it'd be pretty cool if they have the first english VA trailer at E3 (especially if it made it to the stage), but what do I know
This is a console game...that's going to have to weigh the other way around to hit that number. P4G shipped 350k in Japan by the end of 2014 (source: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/08/persona-4-golden-shipments-japan-cross-350000/); the original release did 193k its first week. It's going to do really well there but I think it's hard sometimes to see what a big number 1 million can be in Japan, particularly for a console RPG which will see most of its sales in the first 2 - 3 weeks before people sell it back. (For a little more perspective, on recent episodes the 8-4 Play crew has bantered back and forth on if FFXV will hit 1 million in Japan.)
I still think you're looking at 1.5 - 2+ million, but you're looking at the bulk of those sales coming from the US.

Im very confident Persona 5 will do at least 2 million. Persona 4 was a long time ago, PS4 owners dont have alot of JRPGs to choose from, it looks great, i think it will score really well.

Maybe that it will depend on what Atlus will announce tomorrow, but maybe the information about the release in US (and maybe in Europe) will be kept until E3 to add one more game to talk about during the press conference.
Too optimistic.

It's possibly launch date, but probably just the announcement of an anime, if they haven't revealed that already.
They've already announced a Persona 5 anime.
Isn't it a countdown clock? How come?
It's tied to your computer's clock.
Oh, alright.
Wow, I've never watched this kind of videos, and I've watched the whole thing. That artstyle and music, Soejima and Meguro are so good, instantly hyped for tomorrow
. Thanks for good stuff man!

Shit, I should know what this is but I can't remember for the life of me.
TWEWY? Devil survivor? I just know it's a DS game.

Lol. Not bad guesses, but it's from Majoras mask.
Best Zelda game of all time! Majora's Mask.
Come on guys! Where is your optimistic spirit! Atlus USA has probably had the game for a while now. I can't imagine that they aren't currently working on the translation right now. 2016 can still be real!

What is your issue with Xillia? If it's because of the high abundance of copy pasta job on the field and general environment or big map with tedious collectathon, older Tales don't really suffer from this problem. I'd recommend Vesperia instead as the introduction to Tales series and then if you liked that, go with Graces f, then go backwards.

We are almost 24hrs away from the event.
I would really appreciate it of I could get a number on how many avatars I have to prepare for the guys that are in the #TeamSummer xD
So, how many of you guys are participating in the bet that's going on?

whatever gamer cred I had has been destroyed for not immediately recognising it.

You are forgetting something important, Atlus JP. If they don't want the game to have western coverage before the JP release then there is nothing Atlus USA can show or do about it.

I wonder if P5 released around the same time as FFXV, which game would people buy and play first?!
Yeah, copy pasted locations, filled with collectathons, animu cliched characters, and the story wasn't grabbing me much either. It just didn't feel like devs put any love in to making the game. Combat was decent I guess, but it just felt like a B tier game.
May be like you say I started with the wrong one. I'll keep Vesperia in mind if I ever decide to revisit the series.

My guess on release is August-September for JP, November for US, and 2017 for EU.
#TeamSummer (will be released by September 22nd) here.
