Sony didn't moneyhatted anything. For Atlus, a pc port (or Xbox port, or WiiU port) is just TOTALLY USELESS, that's all.

 

Nintendo and Atlus have a great relationship and Atlus has a very good reputation with Nintendo fans. A Wii U port would not be useless, it would actually end up doing pretty well most likely. 

 

So for Atlus, PC or Xbox is pretty much useless. 

When will people get this in their head? Nintendo handheld fanbase =/= Nintendo console fanbase. Nintendo's console fanbase hasn't had any exposure to Atlus' RPGs since the SNES and the only exposure they are getting is that trashy crossover game, they have no connection with Persona at all and there would be no reason for a Persona/JRPG fan to only own the Wii U as a home console, so there's no reason to think this would do well on Wii U.

1. SMT x FE is not trashy.

2. Almost everyone who owns a Wii U also own a 3DS. 

3. It's still Nintendo. Fans of their games on the 3DS who didn't yet own a Wii U would surely end up buying one for the game over the PS4 depending on the games they want.

They do have a Persona game on the 3DS, Persona Q, which is a SPINOFF and still sold more than SMT IV. 

Also, your statement saying "so there's no reason to think this would do well on Wii U." 

Well guess what... there's no reason to think it would not do well on the Wii U.
