| F0X said: There's no problem with skipping an entry (especially a spin-off) when you don't have the system it's on, or don't plan on getting the system it's on. I skipped the PSP with few regrets, despite it having some of the few decent Square-Enix games of the past five years. |
Even as a 3DS owner I'm irritated by the platform choice, so I understand their frustration. I have no problem with expanding a series to other platforms, but Atlus couldn't have done it in a worse way by making it exclusive to the 3DS and basing it on two Playstation exclusive games. Playstation fans are denied the game on their platform and Nintendo fans will be lost in the story and feel no pre-existing attachment to the characters, especially if it's mostly just fan service. It just seems like a poor and rushed business decision. Spin-off games may still be important, especially with a series like Persona where you get so attached to the characters. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to miss out on Persona 4 Arena.
Still, you won't see any dramatic boycotts from me. 
Criticise and move on.
