It never does! I'm just glad it's on something I own atm.
No? You can chime in all you want, I was just saying that your personal preference is irrelevant to the point I was making.

Sure they have time to announce it. Maybe I'm just used to western developers announcing almost straight away if the console is already announced/out. Maybe they want to use a game show of some sort for Japan to announce the PS4 port since Japan still hasn't had it released.
Gaikai P5 is what I'm hoping. Even with slight lag it's a turn based combat game. I'd so hope for Gaikai as an option, I'd buy the shit out of the service.
You can have your heroine, sure. Just like people could choose Chie. Everything is fine.Non-canon works.

I only took a chance on Persona 3 FES on the PSN Store because I recognized the name from the endurance run. That was last year and now its one of my favourite franchises

I hate portables. Had a PSP and DS just for RPGs and while the games were good and were the only place I could play them I did not enjoy the experience because they were on portables, I enjoyed the experience despite them being on portables.
Especially if they get gaikai working on vita like they said. Man that would be epic. Then I'd have P5 on my vita and ps4....

The number of people the game will sell to, is whatever number the Persona fanbase is at. The install base could be 50 million or 100 million, it's not really going to affect a game like Persona's sales. It's going to sell to its niche market as it always does.

The reason PS4 is brought up so often is because as mods and Verendus have said it was at one time at least planned for it. It seems people want it now that they know the release date is in a year. I think its still up in the air also.
You framed your statement like you were speaking for the majority since you said "JRPG Fans" instead of "I". If you hate portables, that's fine and I'm not going to try to argue that you don't.

It'd be a nice exclusive get for them early on in the console generation when those exclusives matter the most.
Would be some Japanese support that they sorely need on ps4
Also, you know who releases shit in broad strokes like that? Ubisoft, let's not do things ubisoft would do. It'll be better that way. You make it sound like being niche is a bad thing. They know their fan base and they cater to their fanbase. Simple really.
Pretty much what I'm thinking. Especially with sony's 3rd party relations team and lack of Jrpg line-up the first year PS4 is in japan it would be in their best interest to push for it. So I could see them coming to some deal with Atlus over it.
Edit:
I don't think this is the end of the world as a preface, but I would hardly call limiting the consoles you release on as catering to your fanbase so much.
Hm, I wouldn't underestimate the effect the Endurance Run had on the series' popularity.
Only reason I'm a fan now is because of it, anyways.

Gross, you hit me with a salt post when I was just having a discussion. Welcome to my ignore list.

A bean bag?
Lol, was thinking of Europe for some reason. Double checked and you're correct.
Ya know... The one with that small folding table thing attached.
Those are exclusive to colleges/universities where I live.
Lucky guess!
That edit! I saw what you wrote you devil you.
A toilet.
No worries
To be technical 7th gen did start in 2004!
Wait, really? I thought 360 was 2005? What am I missing?
The beans, spill them!

I should look what I'm sitting on the next time I go college 0_0

The DS is technically the first console from gen 7 (and yes, it did come out that long ago)
I've already signed a NDA.

I'm not saying it didn't create any fans. I'm sure it was great free advertising for Atlus. But I just don't think overall it really had a significant impact.
Not awesome.
Yeah I don't see the issue with PS3 being the platform here. Sure Atlus could have done a PS3/4 release, but why sabotage the PS3 sales when they can release Persona 5: The Crimson a year later on Vita/PS4?
As of now, the PS4 still hasn't been released in Japan, so it makes sense to concentrate on the PS3.

Gimme gimme gimme! Would've loved it for PS4 with PS Vita Remote Play. Hopefully we'll see that with the Western release.
10/10 would sit on

Don't get why Vita/Versions aren't announced here as well...Is it more sales to release P5 for just PS3 and then an upgraded version for PS4/Vita?
PS3/Vita both seem like money makers to me..but yeah, cool, I will definitely keep my PS3 around for a while.

They have to drip feed. For the hype.
Well that settles it. I'm finally gonna get a PS3. Even though I saw that coming from a mile away I still have to say it's a complete bonehead decision by Atlus. I understood when they released P4 veeeery late on an then outdated system..but that was the PS2 not the trainwreck that was the PS3 (regarding everything but the library...and man it feels good to speak of the PS3 in past tense) .
I mean Winter 2014? Really?
Btw: This is the last you guys gonna see from me in any Persona 5 related thread until I've finished that game. I'm going on a full media blackout.

Can't wait til some genius spoils something important in a thread header.

Finally, we all knew P5 was in development, but with the recent purchase from SEGA and the radio silence from Atlus, it's good to see an ETA. Also it's not really a surprise that it will be released on PS3. I do hope they'll re-use the Catherine engine, it was pretty awesome.
About Atlus's teasing, I'll just quote AtlusAram : We get off on your tears

I imagine we'll be seeing more information pretty soon. SMT IV had a Famitsu tease and quiet teaser website for 3 months until the Soul Hackers trailer, and then the 'official reveal' mid-September. Afterwards, information came out at a pretty steady pace until release.
I'm guessing the return of the Persona magazine will have the first details on P5.

Part of the large delay is that the Catherine engine was a play test and they've been building another completely new engine.
They drip fed for months
Hope that Atlus does make P5 for the PS4. If not, have it working on Gaikai next year. I can see why they chose the PS3 though. I wonder if they'll announce a PS4 version if the system has good sales at release in Japan and onward.
I want to see some screenshots or something soon, they've been teasing the game for a long time and now that they've revealed it we have no media!

Gamebryo? I thought they had a new engine for Persona 5.
Yeah why would they release on a system with 80 million sales?
