My two cents, but they're putting an EO-style Persona game on the 3DS because EO games have always been available on Nintendo systems, and an idol game on Vita because Vita owners like those types of games. They're not "screwing" the Vita fanbase--on the contrary they're giving the fanbase what it wants. Or at least what's pretty popular and sells well on the Vita. Same reason goes for Persona Q on 3DS.

if you're an RPG fan and hate dance games then it might seem they're screwing you over. But they're not screwing the fanbase as a whole.

If Atlus decided to make a new version of Persona 3 I'd be surprised if it wasn't on Vita. Again they'd just be catering to the appropriate fanbases.


Now's the time to start expanding their userbases.  3DS owners buy rhythm games (see: Miku; Theatrhythm).  Vita owners by first-person dungeon crawlers (see: Demon Gaze).

I don't understand why they'd segregate the games like this.  They've been trying to expand Etrian Odyssey's userbase recently (with Millenium Girl).  They have the perfect opportunity to expand to Vita since there's already plenty of Persona fans already there (see: Persona 4 Golden) yet they make it 3DS-exclusive.  

I don't see the reason for exclusivity of either game, to be honest.

because they are both quick cash grabs, simply reskinned versions of EO and Miku that they can make a quick buck off of. to port it over would cost more money
