I highly doubt that, Tales of Xillia 2 just released on PS3, and won't release outside of Japan until 2014 as it is. Plus PS3 owners already have the Symphonia HD remakes to look forward to.

I think, if this isn't a Wii U game (since they say they have no plans for a next get Tales), it's likely a 3DS game. Tales of the Abyss, a remake, sold 65% as well as the best console Tales this gen, and it sold 90% as well as the original game, despite releasing early in 3DS's life.

Plus releasing the game for 3DS means that people outside of Japan will likely get the game too, since 3DS will be selling well in 2014/2015, thus boosting sales.

Xillia 2 came out in Japan like 9 months ago. I don't really see them doing much with 3DS.

Yea, and how many Tales of games did the PS3 get in its 7 years lifetime? 4 in Japan, with 1 more already releasing. I don't think Namco could develop another PS3 Tales of game and release it within 12 months. (I don't think they will release the game after the first half of 2014 in Japan. Plus Xillia 2 hasn't even released outside of Japan, this would be oversaturation of the brand outside of Japan. If it's a PS3 game, I wouldn't expect it to release outside of Japan.

A Tales of game for 3DS wouldn't be as epic as a PS3 game, but it's much cheaper and quicker to produce, and will sell 60-70% as well minimum. Namco has never really made a full out haldheld Tales of Game, I think with the popularity of handheld games in Japan, it's a very real possibility.

But I can be wrong, and if it's not WiiU or 3DS, PS3 is the next most likely console. However if they make it for PS3, we might not see it localize.
