Forums - Sony Discussion - Why isn't Persona 5 on the Vita?

Originally they decided to have Persona 5 on the PS3 because they wanted another true home console Persona.
Sony convinced them to port it to PS4.

Honestly, considering how Persona is a turn based RPG and doesn't require super low latency, I wouldn't mind playing it on remote play.

THey should make it for the vita but they wont, not simultaneously anyways. Itll probably be remade at some point with extra content for the 

As long as you dont need L3, R3, L2, and R2 buttons ill be playing this on the vita through remote play.  JRPG games feel better on handhelds in my opinion

Because Atlus wants to release Persona 5 Hanging out at the Disco All Night for it! So don't worry, you will be able to experience Persona 5 on the Vita too!

I guess the Vita can´t handle it. Remember that P4G is a PS2 port whereas P5 will be a (late)PS3 game. Maybe they´ll downgrade it and port it somewhere down the line but for now I´m happy it will be on PS4 (I detest gaming on a Handheld).

They've always done it on console first.

Don't worry, they'll release it on the Vita. They want everyone to buy the console version first, then double dip on the Vita because it has a new dungeon and maybe some new scenes, etc.

I honestly think the answer is as simple as this. The series is a console series.

Yeap.  It's more of a bonus if the series comes to handheld along with a console release.

I really don't see that as being /thread worthy.

It's an RPG.  Why would it be bigger than Borderlands 2?
