Good start. If Nintendo grabs atlus, there may be more that you want. (FExSMT, Persona 5)

I'd rather have P5 on the 3DS or Vita really.

I feel like Atlus shouln't be developing for home consoles. The art desgin doen't look right on a home console. I'm more used to RPG art designs a la Final Fantasy.

And that series has gone to shit.

Final Fantas XIII,XIII-2 weren't bad, XII was okay, and for XIV I haven't played but I heard it was a disaster.

i thought about getting XIII-2 but since X/X-2 is coming out I will get those. XIV was a disaster.

Oh, just realised something interesting.

1. Activision probably couldn't afford to buy Atlus, having just bought themselves away from Vivendi.

2. Vivendi currently have $8 billion in cash sitting around, they could potentially buy Atlus.

Seemed to me that Vivendi just wanted out of gaming altogether. Or am i wrong?

No doubt Sony and Nintendo will be amongst the bidders. I hope it goes to one of those.

Can sony afford it? I heard their gaming division was tanking

Their gaming division has always been tanking, hasn't stopped them before.

Besides, I think all of their consoles are profitable at the moment. Their gaming division is probably in the best shape it has been for years.

I'll still get XIV for PS4 just because there won't be much for that consoe by my birthday.

Best case scenario would be for them to go to either Namco or Marvelous AQL, but I doubt either could afford them. I think Sega's a good fit, as long as it's not Sony or Nintendo.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
