Nope. It'll be on ps3. Persona 5 portable will probably be on vita as well.

It would be nice if I could buy P4A, Atlus
If you would be so kind

Persona was never about the graphix. P4G could be pulled off on the 3DS. I don't care what handheld platform as long as the P5 is made. I would prefer a HD triplet (PS360WiiU) P5 first with a handheld extended version a few years after.

It least we've gotten a date for the European launch (Q1 2013), which is more than can be said for Arena.

NIS America of Europe will publish Persona 4 Golden in the new year, and Zen United is still claiming to have not received the European build of Arena, so that's still TBA.

Spoiler alert: it didn't. Especially if "over here" means Europe, where it's sold precisely zero copies.

Persona 4 Arean, yea. Persona 4 Golden, nothing known yet since it hasn't come out.
I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't on PS3 exclusively. I mean, look at SMT 4. It's the freaking mainline series and its on a handheld.
Persona 5: Starring Aegis as "The Wild Card" and Labby-chan "The Sister".
Coming soon to a theater near you.
I'd love a reason to pick up a Vita, but I doubt it.
Also:
Is that some ambiguous grammar or is there some version of P4G I'm not aware of?
No its not, how could you even come to that conclusion?
Ah I remember now your that guy -_-. Atlus sold out their shippment and you do know atlus games sell better overtime don't you. But since you're so bitter about arena you wouldn't know how atlus other games have sold in the past. Even still the game sold above expectations and its still doing well in the arcades in japan so however you still feel about it its a success weather you like it or not.
It should move away from the high-school setting and be set around Labrys' journey to take the idol world by storm. Battles could be turn based dance battles. Miku Hatsune cameo costumes are a must.
I don't understand what you're saying. Genuinely. It did well in Japan. I never said it didn't. It did not do well in the US.

Is it not amazing to anyone else that a $60 visual novel (that happens to have a fighting game mixed in) sold so well?
Alternately, is it anti-amazing that a direct sequel to Persona 3, Persona 4 and
that also possssssssssssssssssssssssibly serves as a teaser for Persona 5, sold so little?

Almost everything about Persona 4 is wonderful.
Haters can get bent.
Haters can get bent.
Persona 4 is one of my favourite games ever.
I just hate Arena and feel like The Golden was a missed opportunity.
I wish. :/ But I'll settle for the high-school setting since they'd unfortunately never attempt that. If they did though I'd definitely buy as many copies as possible.
I'm serious.
Hey, how yas doin'? My name is Labrys and I'm gonna be an idol.
... I'd buy it. Totally. >_>
P4 has it's flaws, but they're pretty minimal and nit-picky (and one of the ones I personally thought was a flaw was rectified by The Golden.)
I just wish we could get an ideal version of Persona 3. Both versions (FES and Portable) have some considerable drawbacks.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
And sold more than any other fighting game in Japan at launch.
I was joking. That's pretty much exactly what I would not want to see.
I know you were, which is unfortunate since it's such a brilliant idea, lol.

Persona, and really just Atlus in general, is the golden child of JRPGs/Niche-titles this generation. Effectively replacing Square.
Gundam Extreme Vs sold multiple times as much, probably sold more in imports than P4A ever will in the west too.

Well, is kind of difficult import a Region Looked game.
GEV is more like a tactical team shooter.

Original article and headline only says Arena surpassed expectations, says nothing of expectations for Golden.

And this is why Persona 2 EP is not coming out here. Thanks, Japan.
Well, I should also thank the US for not buying Innocent Sin.

I'd buy the hell out of this, Labrys was awesome.
They have to be the most incompetent video game company ever.
Disgusting and shameful.
I was gonna buy Arena but since it isn't even coming out over here till next year I won't bother. I will not support a publisher (and whatever developer is supposedly working on it) that takes a finished game and then delays its launch by 4+ months due to "a number of issues surrounding development and subsequent release of Persona 4 Arena in Europe". Development? The game is finished. All you need to be done is add some languages. Heck, you don't even need to do that for the UK!
I will however be supporting the release of Golden simply because I can import it. I don't have to wait for some useless company to delay it for months because they're too busy looking for their only copy of a Spanish dictionary.

I know. Just better to put them on your ignore list because it's pretty annoying and sad. I do feel bad for Europeans though, this situation was handled horribly.
Glad that the games did well in Japan. I don't think Persona 4 Arena's numbers in North America are so bad considering the oversaturation of the fighting genre and Atlus's warehouses did empty out, so they are probably happy with its sales.
Actually, they said that they''ll skip the other languages to push the game out earlier. I really have no idea how a game can be delayed like this.
And people were saying we were complaining for no reason. "Oh, it's only a month late. Stop being so entitled."
Really have no desire to buy the game now, not even for bargain bin price.

They're also in danger of following Square into the gutter, if recent developments are any indication.
