Persona on PS3? not gonna happen. Atlus have financial troubles and is not a rich company to begin with.
Persona 5 would go either psp or wii. hd twins? very unlikely.
considering Persona 1 port on psp i would say that it was their attempt to know their fanbase on sony handheld and possible buyers of future Personas.

That doesn't make sense.

If Disgaea 3 can be made for the PS3, then there is absolutely no reason why Persona can't make the jump to the PS3.Yes, I know Nippon-Ichi released the game at least in the U.S. but it's a PS2 niche series that made the leap to the PS3 effectively with nobody losing their jobs over it.

 

yeah but Disgaea 3 is 2d and could be released on all last gen console without any problem. if we're talking about atelier rorona it looks like last gen game as well. not to mention that both are fairly niche titles so they can go away with that, but here we are talking about Persona game and people already are saying that it should be sandbox game.

if anyone thinks that its normal for Persona to go on ps3 then tell me why Harvest Moon didn't go there yet? Persona is simply not suited on ps3 - not to mention that sales of jrps on ps3 were so far not good at best - while wii games with similar sales can bring profit to its developer ps3 game will end up as a total disaster.

 

Isn't that the argument for every JRPG, that they couldnt possibly be announced for PS3 and obviously it'll go to Wii.  And yet JRPG's keep getting anounced for the system.  It's like the developers and producers know more about the market and especially the industry than random people on forums....

I hope not... I want the success of the series and this wouldn't help... at all...

I don't have a problem since I have all current gen systems, but it would be an huge mistake.

Doesnt make much sense to announce a Persona game at E3. TGS sounds more like it.

I don't know about any of you (personally), but I would like to keep all my atlus games on one consoles. I have BC on my ps3 and I still play Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga 1/2, Persona 3/4, & Devil summoner on my ps3. So I would think that if Atlus wants to make a profit with persona 5 it would want to do so on the best selling (so far this year in 2009) HD console in Japan. All data so far points to the ps3 being the platform to launch HD rpg's without compromise in Japan (I know wii rules the world, but it cannot do this game any justice as far as physics and graphics are concerned). Hopefully I can keep all my Rpgs on one console this gen (2 if you count my psp) and that will be the ps3 IMOB.

Have you taken a look at P3 & P4 sales? They are kind of niche as well, pulling only VC and Disgaea like sales. THe thing is the most recent persona are head over shoulders more profitable then the first two were. The series has slightly broken out of its super niche body and has developed what looks to be a hardcore fanbase(people who will follow it to the end of the earth). This could only be established on playstation, especially for a game that was so late in the PS2's life span. To tear what is already a struggling franchise from what made it stand out would be risky to the series new found strength. It will most definitely come to PS3, maybe not exclusive but it will be PS3 available.

The other thing is people forget how Sony treats those who are developing for them exclusively. Sony has their whole close nit framework of developers who help each other out. They give all the ins and outs, how they got this to work, etc. If Atlus finds they are stumped at a particular aspect of the PS3, Sony will help them to no end.

Also, development might not be as dificult as many think it is for companies such as Atlus to bring their games to PS3(anymore). There is the PhyreEngine, which supposedly makes game development on the PS3 a breeze. One might try to argue that the PE just came out......not so. The PhyreEngine has actually been out for some time now, exclusive to those who purchase a PS3 developer liscense since 2006. I know this because I have been keeping an eye on it myself as a tool for game development. Persona is pretty, but not a huge graphical powerhouse. PhyreEngine could be just enough to make P5 shine on the system effortlessly.

I can't wait, Persona is really a great RPG, I played so many hours on Persona 3 FES and Persona 4... A new Persona on PS3 could even take the crown as the best RPG this gen, which is Valkyria Chronicles right now (another PS3 exclusive, by the way).

Another point that works against this rumor is that Atlus would almost definitely work on SMT4 before working on another Persona game. I highly doubt that they would make three Persona games between main series games.

why not? how many SMT games have exactly come out before they released P3 again? Quite a few.

Maybe it is time to catch up on all the persona goodness they seemingly forgot about. :D

If I didn't get the Japanese and English dates mixed up, only SMT III: Nocturne was released between Persona 2 and Persona 3. Remember that Digital Devil Saga and Devil Summoner games are not main series.  Also, Persona games are given the SMT title in the West anyway, so your first sentence doesn't really make sense.

 

That said, I'm just speculating. I would love a PS3 Persona game.
