And so they release the sequel on PS3....

To be honest though, given how both the console versions and the handheld versions of persona games both do well, I'd imagine they make more money from doing a seperate enhanced PSV release later on by selling both to new buyers and double-dippers. I agree though that Vita could sustain an exclusive new mainline entry in the series

Possibly, but I really don't like the fact that the 4 jRPGs that I am interested in and have been confirmed for next year (FF XV doesn't count) are all on PS3

KH 2.5HD, FFX HD, Persona 5 and Lightning Returns

I want the Japanese industry to move forward to next-gen! I don't want to have to get my PS3 out, the DualShock 4 is such a good controller.

Anyway, I know I'm going to have to wait ages for this game, so I'm not going to get too worked up about it

I know what you mean, but at least with Persona the graphics are hardly the main reason to buy. As for the HD remasters, jumping forwards one generation usually means a fairly simple upping of resolutions, though of course SE are spending a lot of love and attention on FFX in particular, whereas to go up 2 generations would probably mean substantial revision of the game and its assets which would be far more expensive.

As for LR, it's probably the one that would benefit most from the extra scope PS4 could give it, both I suspect it was greenlighted because it wasn't that expensive to make for an AAA FF game anyway

So basically I'm with you, it would be nice to have Persona etc. on PS4 or PSV but I'm not too frustrated, there's usually good reasons though we may not like them

Amazing sales. Congrats to the Persona team! I have never played a Persona game before until last month. I picked this one up and loved every minute of it from start to finish.

Great stuff. It was my pleasure to contribute to these numbers, and I hope that it can keep on selling. This was the game that justified my Vita purchase from a gaming standpoint.

Yes, and the fanbase will double dip the Golden version on the Vita a year later :)

So true, haha. :D

Can't you use DS4 with the PS3? I heard something like that but didn't look into it because I'm not interested in a PS4 at the moment anyways (mostly thanks to the fact that there are more interesting games for PS3 releasing next year than for PS4 imo (well, as far as is announced right now)).

I guess you're right, porting from PS3 forward isn't that simple. I just wish it was... Porting to Vita does seem quite simple, especially as Sony will help you out, so FFX HD is coming to Vita but the rest aren't

I agree with you on LR, but we can probably all agree as well that it shouldn't really exist and is just there to be as cheap as possible.

Persona 4 didn't release on ps2 until ps3 was well into it's lifetime. Atlus *always releases on the previous gens machines.

*not always, but they don't start releasing on current machines until several years into the gen. Like Catherine for instance.

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont
