Doesn't Atlus' anniversary year end around April 2015? If so, I'd expect them to try and aim for that time-frame, at least in Japan, as a way of rounding out the celebration. If it's not a worldwide release, then I expect US/EU sometime in late summer or fall 2015.
I'm thinking between June and August 2015 for a Japanese release. I think a concerted effort for an NA/JPN simultaneous launch would be the best case scenario for both the fans and the publishers, but that's most likely not going to happen. I do think NA will get the game in 2015, however.
The possibility of P4D launching after P5 is an interesting one raised on the previous page, but I'd be really surprised if that were to happen. Relatedly, I thought that there might be some media unveilings concerning those games soon for the 25th anniversary of Atlus on November 24th that P Studio liked to talk about in 2013 and early 2014, but it doesn't seem like that'll be a thing, at least anymore.

230k shipped worldwide as of October 31st and the game's still active online.

I was thinking about this too. Do you think there's still a chance of any media being released for either game later this month? A trailer might be a bit much, but what about a magazine spread for P4D, even if it just gives a tiny bit more detail on the stuff we already know? For example, a spread featuring artwork for Yosuke, Chie, and Kanji, with maybe a tiny blurb about what kind of dancing they'll do.
The next Persona Magazine after the #September issue was apparently set to release this fall, and there's not much they'd be able to cover in it other than maybe some P3M #3 stuff, just a little bit more about P4GA (especially with the new upcoming episode), the P4A stage show and the Tokyopolis Persona collab. I guess that's where there could be real basic P4D info related to the recent trailer, but I kinda doubt that there's going to be a new issue in 2014 now.
For any new Persona game news, I was thinking it was either something for their anniversary or for one last 2014 issue of PM, but it doesn't seem like either are happening right now. Episode 10 of Persona Stalker Club later this month also won't be having anything new.
I'm personally inclined to say that this won't affect the release date. I think they'll base the release on when the content is done and polished, rather than an arbitrary date.
I think P4D will be shown after P5, but release before P5.
Sold less than Arena, but I think it's (arguably) a better game.
Most people seem pretty down on the story, mostly because it's terrible.

They said Winter right?
They just said 2015, as I recall.
Winter 2014 for the PS3, which was changed to 2015 for the PS3 and PS4.

Yeah that sounds about right.
I thought it looked like she was leaning forward with her pelvic region.
And yes, she's wearing goggles for some reason.
She is. But her proportions are still chunky.

Oh, it's a perfectly good GAME. It's just that the story was unfulfilling drivel that belonged in an episode of YuGiOh and the characters were largely reduced to stale caricatures of themselves.
The DLC story was good, though.

Makes sense. If anything new does happen before the end of the year, great! Much safer and more realistic to expect nothing though, and just enjoy PQ/other things.
EDIT:
Dantis said:
I'd agree with you there, Ultimax is a better game (ignoring the story mode) than the first Arena. I'm happy I own it, but I kinda doubt I'm going to play it again now that the novelty of a Persona fighting game has worn off. I usually don't play fighting games, so this is definitely a return to normal. Same thing happened with Dissidia, if any of you guys played that. Played the first one to death for the fanservice, despite its flaws. When the much better second one came around though, I respected what the game was, but didn't really play it that much because I don't like fighters.

the correct term is "pelvic thrust"I thought it looked like she was leaning forward with her pelvic region.
And yes, she's wearing goggles for some reason.
gotta fit all those robot components somewhere!

I thought its just because she's a robot, that it would look clunky to me.

I don't think it's chunky, it's more of lacking a defined waist, along with the lack of hands, which make it look really off.
Chet Rippo

Do you really want to see what I would consider chunky?

No, I want to know what word you would use to describe that picture of Aigis.

Just looked at it again. I didn't notice she had her arms behind her back.
EDIT: Huh. Just noticed I'm not a junior member anymore. Wonder when that happened?

Yeah that is one major thing throwing me off about that picture, if the arms were in the front with he chest not pushed out far as it is, probably would look better.

I know. Marie with a personality is a really foreign concept.
Just kidding, she's not that bad.

Now this is something I can #BELIEVE in~
I am preparing myself for Ultimate Despair
The hashtag makes me think of what obnoxious social network trappings they hopefully won't put in P5.
Attacks being hashtags.

Status effect updates - when a character is poisoned a tweet comes up talking about them not feeling very well with a few emojis.
Recent Persona 5 trailer appears for literally a sec in the SCEJ 20th year special anniversary video.
Instead of ranking up Social Links, you now work to build Klout with your buddies @Tomomi and @Hiroaki.
It's kind of weird when you think that Dancing All Night was announced nearly a full year ago, and the only new thing we've actually seen are Yosuke's, Chie's and Kanji's designs.
It's pretty disappointing, considering I was assuming I'd already have an import copy right now, and be crushing everyone's scores. I've never played a rhythm game before, but I'm sure I'm going to be the best player ever.
I think the things I'd like to see the most at this point are the remaining playable roster (assuming what we've seen already isn't the final roster) and some actual frigging gameplay. I just want a video of a full song, uncut, no voiceover, so we can see how the game actually plays.

Considering that it appears Dingo's game was scrapped for something in-house, I'm not surprised we haven't seen anything. We have no idea if they are starting again from scratch or what.
Based on the new trailer, I think it's safe to say they've largely started from scratch, yeah.
Shame we didn't see more of Dingo's game before they killed it. Would have made for an interesting comparison.

Why did they kill Dingo's game?

I doubt we will ever find out why.

If that the initial date for it was some-what accurate, I assume that they would have dropped it long before, if it was shit.
Truth is there are several reasons that could have caused it and we will probably never know.
