Lol these two threads are like night and day....

Well I need to eat crow for doubting you believers.

So weird for it to be a PS3 title them a PS4... Well I hope the port it to the vita as well
 
Userbase = consoles sold? Because that's a pointless number.
Userbase = People who still play on their PS3s.
But will the PS3 userbase still be as active as PS4's in 2015? I doubt it, I still think we could get a PS4 port and I bet that the PS4 port would outsell the PS3 one in the west.
Maybe not in the west, but in the Japan I am pretty sure the PS3 userbase will still be active for a long time.

Are you new to the Persona series? It is not weird at all. Persona 3 and 4 were both released for the PS2 when the PS3 was already in the market.
 
Is it? I think it's pretty fair to say that they're will be more people owning a PS3 at the end of 2014 than people owning a PS4

But what's more important is which userbase is more active -- ie, more likely to be buying new games. That could be PS4. But I don't see people suggesting they shouldn't release it on PS3 -- I see people saying they should do PS3/PS4/PSV. Sony seems to be improving their policies, so I'd hope they wouldn't turn down P5 for PS4.
 
This follows a typical pattern for many Japanese niche games, doesn't it? These kinds if games almost never come to a newer platform in the first 12-18 months of its cycle.

Sony hardware is worth hanging onto. I rarely get rid of hardware. Even if I'm not using it I just box it. I'm fortunate to be able to do that, as I don't need to sell stuff to get new stuff.
 
I don't get it. It's a Sony exclusive right now why not port the game to both consoles?

It's crazy that mainline Persona missed last gen. Well waited until next gen was released to announce a PS3 game.
 
Ps3 made more sense than anything else and I'm not sure why you guys expected anything else.

Also, since PersonaQ is still in a high school, I hope Persona 5 takes a bit of a different route and goes for college.

It costs money to do that.

I think we will get high school again. Japan loves its high school characters.

The devs are moving at their own pace.

It will come to more platforms but it's a matter if you are willing to wait for it or not.
 
IM SO EXCITED... to probably not be able to play this...

I don't own a PS3 and while I plan to buy a Vita and PS4, the PS3 wasn't on that list at all... I am so sad right now.
 
I am preparing a new FeMC avatar :) The last one was a bit ugly. I hope she is, in some way, present in Persona Q, by the way... since Theo is there.

Agreed. If they change the P3/4 formula too much, they will receive a lot of backlash.

Her All-Out Attack portrait does make her look ugly, but I love angry looking girl <3
If Theo there but not FeMC, I'm swear Atlus, you gonna pay some blood for this

More on serious note, I agree that changing the formula too much will makes them receive massive backlash, especially if we consider much part of the fandom. But I could only hope that is for gameplay though, not theme or tone of the game.

I think its a high school chair that shown on trailer, hope many of you guys settle with more darker theme. (If they actually pull that)

Of course, but does that mean anything? There are even more Wii and DS sold than PS3. That doesn't mean the game would sell better on those consoles. What truly matters is if the people that own those systems are still buying games for them. God Eater 2 sold better on Vita, despite the difference between PSP and Vita LTD.

So lets make gaikai not so relevant right?
P5 is perfect for Gaikai
So it wont be ported for ps4

Why should Atlus care about Gaikai? They aren't Sony.

Userbase = People who still play on their PS3s.

I don't think the difference is going to be as big as you may think. Besides, Persona 4 Golden sold very well on a 'dead' handheld. It could have happened again.
 
Some time ago people were depressed at the idea of a 3DS Persona because it would mean a lack of visual evolution, and there was HUGE arguments over it.

And people are not dissapointed about not being PS4? Come on... if you care about graphics this is the best outcome by far. It was madness to think PS4 could be an option, how long took Atlus to produce a PS2 game? how long it took for a PS3 one?

Man, just thinking a Persona with Catherine graphics makes me smile. Such a great day, I would have gladly taken a Persona 5 in whatever console, but PS3 makes me extra happy, hoping they manage a great cel shading.
 
Persona is getting four games for three different platforms in three different genres. They are milking the brand for all it's worth ,witch I personally don't mind if it guarantees more mainline games. A port of P5 for whatever viable platform seems very likely.They are probably just waiting for PS4 to have more users to release the Crimson version.

We must prepare to be disappointed :( Theo is there, even Marie is there... But no signs of Hamuko :(

Yeah, changing the tone of the game wouldn't be a bad idea. Removing Social Links and the date sim aspect, on other hand, would drive a huge part of the fandom mad. I personally would love to see the date sim aspect in a more serious game ;)

That could be PS4, but i think it depends on PS4 JRPG ecosystem.

Persona audience is JRPG audience. It doesn't really matter if PS4 has more active userbase overall by 2015 if majority of it is just full of cod crowd which unlikely to buy this game. It's safer to announce the game for PS3 so their actual audience can hanging on their PS3 they already own, rather than announce it for PS4 and just hope for the best that half of their audience have the money and resolve to buy PS4.

As for cross-gen thing, Atlus surely not big enough to do this simultaneously? It is more likely if they port it later on. Look at P4Golden.
 
So... Spring 2015 for NA...I knew i should've learn Japanese instead of Spanish :( oh well, let the waiting begin

But if didn't learn spanish...you wouldn't be able to enjoy the Telemundo soap operas!

'No pedro, este hombre no lo conosco!!'
'Maria, este hombre es mi segundo hermano!'
'NO! Tu me dijiste que no conocias a pedro'
'Maria, desde chiquito el me roba mis novias! Solo estoy haciendo venganza!'

They all also happen in a hacienda, what is with hacienda settings being use 90% of the time!
 
Knew it would be PS3. Just like last last gen we will get a jrpg surge in the final years. Niche industry that struggle is going for the deeper userbase with mature, cheaper development tools. Thats why im not jumping into next gen yet, missed out last gen by doing that. This time i will wait it with some PERSONA!
