wat. Everybody knew MH3 wouldn't sell like the PSP ones, why bring this up again?
Because it's the only relevant data point we have, at least until MH3 is released in the west. No one really has any idea if there's a market for serious RPGs on the Wii or not. MH3's sales are not encouraging on that front, though I will of course admit that the peculiarities of the Monster Hunter series will account for some of the difference between the PSP and Wii sales.
Atlus aren't going to wait for anything because they already started Persona 5. Whatever is their decision....
What I meant by that was that Atlus is going to wait and see how well serious RPGs perform on the Wii before developing a Wii Persona game, not that they're going to hold off developing P5 specifically until they see how well serious RPGs perform on the Wii. My bet is that P5 is going to be a PSP or PS3 exclusive. At some later date if Wii RPG sales are good Atlus might decide to port P5 to the Wii or develop P6 for the Wii, but I really doubt P5 will be released for Wii on launch day.
