Disappointed at how many people voted Sony / Nintendo.

It'd be best for them to stay 3rd party, so Namco or Square Enix should pick them up.

Well if Namco get's it...we won't see it outside of Japan

if Square Enix gets it, it'll be on ios lol

But the Tales localisations man.

Persona is more than successful enough in the West.

well I guess i'm wrong. X-P

Persona 5 for Vita!

Im sure Atlus could easily port it to the Wii U. Persona is not an exclusive franchise, and there was one already listed for the 3ds around the time it was announced. You never know...

Oh boy. Persona 5, Wii U exclusive. Nobody would be upset about that.

Seriously, half the reason Atlus made Catherine was to get used to developing for PS3 and 360. Persona 5 is likely very far along at this point. To suddenly switch not only from two consoles to one but to an entirely new console the team has never touched before would be a horrible move for them financially.

please Nintendo, buy them for the lulz XD

Out of the list i would say Namco. No first party company should get Atlus, that would suck.

Why the fuck would anyone want to see Square-Enix wind up with Atlus? You people are like the lab monkeys who don't learn from getting shocked.

Agreed. They should go to EA! Just think of the possibilities...
