Well, with hd game they sell it for 60$ instead of 50$ of ps2 and Wii and make more profit per copy. And NA is very important to SMT series, especially persona games, they actually could sell more with handhelds in Japan, but in NA the sales would be worse. Well, i hope for a HD or ps2 release.

If you look at the sales of Persona 4, Japan is more important than NA, even if it is bigger. Also  if they ported it to the PS2 or Wii that your point about lower NA sales is a moot one.  As for the $10 extra profit, that still isn't enough to make up a budget difference of at least 6m.  I think PSP is the best platform right now if they want to take it to current generation platforms. Then it is PSP/PS2 or PSP/Wii, or PS2/PS2/Wii. It just makes more sense that the series goes to low-end systems than high-end ones, when the game is a low-end one itself.

Well, Persona 3 sold more in NA than in Japan. But anyway, a ps3/360 release is what i want for the series, but expect a PSP/ps2 release.

I think the latest game is better for determining how popular the series is, though it does have many flaws. Also I respect your opinion, I just wanted to counter it by saying it is better suited for the series success to go to lower end platforms, and hd consoles don't give it much to gain other than graphics.
