It is big, but it never performs all that well when it comes to sales as far as I can recall. Doesn't Tales usually sell more? I imagine that the merchandise and marketability helps out a TON obviously.
The Shin Megami Tensei series is what I would consider their biggest series.

But I wanted to sell my PS3 by then...

2015 in America would be likely, I think.
Simultaneous release would be delicious if they are doing localization as we speak while they work on the game... *.*
SMT's definitely their most prestigious series, and obviously very popular, but I never got the impression it has the popular appeal Persona has. Could be wrong.

That teaser was pretty cool, looks much more mature than Persona 4.

As far as current popularity goes, Persona is definitely their biggest IP.
Obviously Persona can't exist without SMT series going, that's for sure. And it isn't uncommon to see spin-offs sells better than mainline title.
It's kinda like 3D Mario and Mario Kart.

Persona is fast out pacing the mainline SMT series IMO.
I don't have the space for this Atlus!

I think having all these very defined characters helps with that compared to say... SMT where the demons IMO take center stage, lol.
Yeah. Still, kinda crazy that a spin-off became more popular than the main series.
there are quite a few jrpgs coming to PS3 over next year, late localized games and new ones, small and high profile. There is nothing coming to PS4 next year that we know of, I don't think they have anything to worry about re audience for these games...

The evokers were too heavy handed and got old fast. It only seemed intense in the first 2 or 3 scenes, then you just became desensitized, P4 had so much going for it to strike the right tone between "these are high school kids" and "this is a messed up situation" but then you got to spend half the game forgetting about the messed up situation part and it became a scooby doo dating sim.
Also, robot girls in love and talking fur suits.
I think they're "letting go" of those games though. We get our mostly cutesy spinoffs and a kind of serious P4A sequel and P5 is its own beast. If you can tie the games to the system they're released on, I think I'm expecting something more in the line of Catherine than P4, honestly.
Well, it only became more popular since the third game. Most people played P4 and P3 but not P2 and P1

You guys really need to make the text pop up after the spin there is no build up and it feels hollow.
Seriously if you're a console RPG fan you need to own a PS3 for the next 1-2 years...
Actual sales > Potential Sales
Not to mention by the time it hits west if it happens, PS3 will be dirt cheap.
I'd rather they focus on getting 1 version of the game out first, before mucking up that process.

Sega only bought them recently, so I really doubt that they'd have any influence over platform decisions. At least not so soon. P5 has been in development for years. It was first mentioned all the way back in 2010. So the platform decision was likely made quite some time ago.
Anyway, if you look at their announcements today you'll see that they're all very well thought out and not risky
PQ - Etrian Odyssey inspired Persona title. While Person games are obviously more known on PS platforms, the EO games are Nintendo platform focused. So if it's going to play like that then it makes sense for it to be a 3DS title
P4D - A Persona dancing game from the developers of the original Miku title. Miku is already very successful on PS portables, and so is Persona.
P4U2 - P4U on the PS3 was the best selling traditional fighter on the system before JoJo was released.
P5 - It's shown itself to be a pretty popular RPG machine after its initial slow start.
Like I said, there's really no risk in their decisions. They all seem pretty damn smart.

That extra PS+ money will come in handy. How much does MS make off Gold though? Sony needs to moneyhat Japanese devs like they've never done before, gaming slowly moved away from consoles to handhelds and its creeping away to mobiles. Not getting MH on Vita was a mistake and huge loss for the PS ecosystem. That one game would revitalize the Vita in Japan more than the tens of MH type of games Sony ended up with. The gap with the West is widening, not shrinking, I fear for PS4 sales post launch.

I have done my part.
Thought the same thing. Persona 2 has the best story, best atmosphere and best characters.

So we got the expected outcome. I'll wait to get excited until after we start getting some details about the game.

I thought that was a mistake on Sony's part? 2010 was the first time that it was specifically mentioned by someone from Atlus (Hashino in that case).

Only time will tell. I think people may be overestimating the darkness level though... I think whatever they put out with P5 will likely have as much appeal as the last two Persona games unless they want to take a huge risk...
Oh you mean like, outright something about "the next persona" from someone higher-up.
Yeah, like March 2010 or so, you are correct on that!
The HD nightmare still haunt many Japanese devs. Sony really need to push them if we want to see at least quarter of PS2 JRPG output like they did with indies in the west.
This one was a mistake, so it was really kinda "officially" mentioned in 2010.
Edit: Beat.
It might just be the 3DS game.
