Persona, on the other hand, is relatively niche and single player. I don't think it's true that Sony doesn't care about PC as a competitor. If they didn't, they would be eager to put their IPs on Steam. It's just that, as the PS4 is still young, it does not have the player base to compete with PC at the moment. So Sony tries to avoid this by considering PC gaming to be a completely separate gaming entity. Those are just my thoughts. As a side note, if Sony is actually moneyhatting Persona 5, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. It might possibly be a very good thing in some instances. Say, for example, if Sony were to be funding the localization of the game, I'm sure Sony would have the monetary resources to get Troy Baker to voice a major role -- something that Atlus evidently does not have, as Troy Baker has become much more prominent since his role in Persona 4. Edit: But of course, as everyone else has said, it's probably also because Atlus doesn't put games on PC. I just have been personally wondering if Sony has been involved with the game ever since the game suddenly got a PS4 port. |
This would imply they wouldn't need to moneyhat it at all. Persona has reached unprecendented heights in popularity on the platform. It being on Playstation is a foregone conclusion. Atlus doesn't do simultaneous multiplatform releases for their games. Arc System Works did release the fighting game on 3 platforms, but that was a different development team.
I would bet on a Persona 5 - Platinum releasing on Vita/other platforms down the line.
