Ok so what exactly is this game? It seems like a cult hit.



My happiness is over 9000! Now XD

It's Atlus who makes the decisions, Sony has nothing to do with it.

Catherine was made by P Studio. It was thought to be their way of familiarising themselves with the hardware (PS3/360) to prepare them for development of Persona 5.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows how Atlus operates that P5 will be 7th-gen. It's not a mistake... such a niche title would be entirely overshadowed on a brand new next-gen console, while it has little or no competition on PS3 for an 80 million install base. The dev team would also have to learn to program for an entirely new console to make it for PS4, and this game has been in development since before PS4 dev kits were available.

PS3 is the gift that keeps on giving. It will have the multi-plats and seems like its gonna have the best exclusives for next year aswell.
Its likely that the Tales team will announce the next tales entry for it aswell.

Why? PS3 is not dead yet, like 360 is. And don't forget about Gaikai on PS4.

True, but I am skeptical on how good tha twill work for awhile.



So basically, it won't be out in the west until 2015 (if it comes at all) and will still be on PS3...

Whatever, I'll just have to keep my PS3s alive until then!

I think a lot of fans are forgetting that Persona 4 was also released at the tail end of the PS2 life cycle and the PS3 was already available world wide.
