So will the next Persona game be on a Playstation or Nintendo system (or both)

I play videogames, not sales data.

:lol, okay

Would a Persona game somehow not be fun with 3DS-level graphics?

Besides that, I'd much rather the franchise do well than potentially flounder in sales. The 3DS is and will be the dominant platform in Japan. It makes sense.
 
It would be less fun for my eyes to look at that particular videogame, yes.

Catherine was a fine tease of how an HD Persona could look:

Yes please. I also just got a 3ds and I quite like it but I still would prefer an HD Persona 5, especially coming off of P4G which looks great. I'd like to see it taken to the next level.
 
It should ideally be on both Sony and Nintendo system so the game will not get so much disdain in disguise of it being exclusive. Also, it helps to tone down the obscene scorn towards the Persona franchise for one or many reasons.

This is coming from someone that prefers SMT over Persona.
 
I'm thinking PS3 since its not out of the waters yet, unless Vita somehow starts kicking up in Japan but the engine they built for Catherine definitely seems plausible.

Developing Persona 5 on 3DS will graphically look worse than P3 and P4.

I don't think they want to take steps backwards with the series and their fans probably wouldn't want that either.
 
Yeah, as much as I love my 3ds I'd prefer this baby in all it's HD gloriness. I hope it's on next-gen consoles with a vita port. Releasing so late in the current gen would put it in the same situation as P3/4.
 
I have a hard time believing that Persona 5 will be a platform exclusive. My money is on it being multiplat.

Yeah.. I doubt they are going to waste money on the 360 version in japan since they want to cater the Japanese audience first and foremost.
 
As a European, P5 on the region locked 3DS is my worst nightmare come true. I wouldn't mind if it was on 3DS if it wasn't for that.

For me, I hope it's on PS3.

3DS can out perform middle of the road looking PS2 games like P3 and P4. Hell there's nothing graphically on P4 G stopping it from getting a port.

I still believe P5 will be a PS3 level game though but don't believe for a second that P5 couldn't look great on the 3DS and far better than the last two games.

It will do just fine on the PS3. PS3 can sell JRPGs well. See Tales.

They started working on it since 2010 and right now they literally have only one in-house HD game that they've made. It'll be a current gen game.
 
I think P5 will be a PS3 exclusive for the foreseeable future. I thought the whole point of Catherine was to prep the team for making P5 on PS3 hardware no?

I vaguely remember reading something about P5 not using the Catherine engine.
 
Catherine used Gamebyro.

P5 is using an in-house built engine.

I think they said it was sort of a test, but they decided that their own engine will bring their ideas faster into a game.

Anyway I would also hate if Persona 5 came to 3DS, I want the series to evolve in EVERY way. I also think graphics are important for interaction in games, which persona is all about, social links etc, just look at how Catherine felt, the facial expressions, all that detail in the bar etc that gave me a taste for more.

Also after Nocturne, Persona 3, Persona 4, DDS 1, DDS2 etc I want to finally see a HD version of these worlds. Like I said earlier, I want to see the art, the characters, the ideas come to life like never before. No more PS2 demons. And you know what I think the developers would like to evolve too, it is their passion after all. Especially after working on Catherine.

A totally separate 3DS Persona would be amazing thou.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it were to come to PS3 even after Ps4 comes out. Also, after Persona 4's strong sales on Vita, I think that Atlus still sees PlayStation as where Persona fans are. So in the end, maybe something for all Sony systems again.
 
PS3 definitely, 360 has a good chance, Wii U lol.

There might be a Vita port in the far future.
 
Persona 5 will be coming out on PS3 and Xbox 360, just like all of Atlus' other HD console games and just like all the information about P5's development has indicated since we started hearing about it. It could wind up on Wii U but I honestly wouldn't bet on it. A Persona for 3DS may or may not actually happen depending on how exactly they decide to build their 3DS library over the course of the generation, but it won't be P5.

I honestly don't know why this particular series attracts so much downright idiotic commentary about platforms, series development, etc. A lot of this thread is just ridiculous.

I dunno, the whole "Persona is going to be on Nintendo consoles" thing started when the word Persona appeared on the list of Nintendo's future titles in E3 2010 from what I've seen.

Just wondering since I wasn't a member before but when SMT was said to be coming to PS3, was there a big hype back then?
 
What baffles me is that persona in the ps2 iteration had strong sales, acceptable sales on PSP and good on vita...
In this time frame where everyone si struggling to keep the head over the water, making a new persona was an helluva safe bet...
Edit: autocorrect i hate thee, changing english words into italian...
 
Since they already announced a Persona game for 3DS a couple years ago, they should make a definitive version of Persona 3(DS) with both playable protagonists, and the cutscenes and the Answer redone to incorporate the female MC. Maybe even release it alongside the first P3 movie.

Then make P5 for PS3 with possible 360, Vita (or crossplay), and Wii U ports, and hopefully with a similar art style to Catherine.

Though I'm not really too concerned about which system it's on; I just want it to release already. :(
 
There's nothing announced yet, so we don't know.

But I'm expecting the next Persona game to be a Ps360 or Vita game.

Nintendo seems to get the Devil games, while Sony gets Persona all the time.

This seems to be the pattern and I wouldn't pay attention to wikipedia. Usually these sorts of entries are from wishful thinkers or someone who heard some obscure rumour
 
But Nocturne is on the PS2.

He said "that's the way it is going"... Nocturne was 8 years ago.

Atlus have been releasing MegaTen games on Nintendo platforms for a while now. I mean, we have the Devil Survivor games, Soul Hackers, Strange Journey, and soon SMT4 and FExSMT.

The Persona games are the one big thing missing from Atlus' output for Nintendo.

After what they did with Catherine? I expect nothing less than that. I rather see the franchise grow and evolve, rather than downgrading in places (such as graphics for example).

Sony and Persona seem to have a good relationship, games on their platforms, anime series and movies created by Aniplex who belong to Sony.

Seriously, this!

The "Persona 5 for 3DS" talk has been really hard to stomach lately.
 
Would the 3DS even be able to handle a full Persona 3 port? They went the "visual novel" route on PSP because that system couldn't run P3 properly, and they went with the Vita for P4 Golden specifically to avoid that.
 
Persona has a built in audience who will go to where the game is. It doesn't really matter what platform it's on, people will buy it.

That being said, they seem to like multiplat now, so all bets are off. If it goes to handhelds at all (considering Golden's performance I believe it will), it'll be a late port.

And I have no idea of the 3DS's graphical capabilities, so who knows. Especially if their engine is MT Framework esque.

Wii U gets jack shit though. :-P

I'm surprised to see such a comment. Everyone seems convinced that the consoles they've chose are correct and certainly your opinion is no more valid that other peoples. You refer to Atlus' other HD projects but they've had 2 (as far as I'm aware)? Who's to say they'll even make it HD. I could very well just say that original Persona games have only ever come to the leading console in Japan and make an argument on that basis and it's somehow 'idiotic?'
What we've heard from Atlus is extremely limited and obviously subject to change. People citing that are using evidence that is as concrete as the "announced" Persona title for 3DS.
Me personally? I could see it going anywhere because there hasn't been enough supporting evidence either way. If I could choose a platform that would benefit me the most personally it'd be the Vita but I'm not holding my breath for that.
 
Ill go with Playstation with ports going to 3DS/Vita (P5P?). Im also saying this because I really really want it to be handheld.
 
I'll buy hardware to play it. I don't care about the platform.

I don't think that's why they went with the visual novel concept. They did that to make it more portable friendly.
