Atlus just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Persona for any system, nor will they purchase any of Atlus' games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Atlus has alienated an entire market with this move.
Atlus, publicly apologize and cancel Persona Q or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Sorry, I had to after seeing the reaction on the sidebar
