Now I know that Persona 4 came out in 2008, 3 years after the 360 and 2 years after the PS3 was released, but do yall think that Atlus will make P5 next-gen (or even next-gen exclusive)?
Persona 5
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Sep 15, 2016
The sixth main iteration in the long-running Persona series, Persona 5 follows a group of high school students (and a cat) who moonlight as the Phantom Thieves, out to reform society one rotten adult at a time.
Will Persona 5 be Next Gen?
It's already in development (supposedly), so no way in hell it's going to be next gen. Although I doubt it would be next gen even if it wasn't in development. Atlus is not one to jump on board with the next gen early. Persona 4 and Devil Survivor 2 are proof enough of that.
Atlus isn't big on multiplatform releases either. Maybe PS3 and 360, but I highly doubt they'd bother with a next gen port too.
It's mildly possible. P5 has been in development for a while now, but as late as 2011 they were still only going through pre-production planning. So, they certainly could have transitioned at some point in 2012 to targeting a next gen title. Though, as per their history, it is more likely that they will just release it on a current gen console within the next two or so years.
Why go for the millions, when ATLUS has the 10's of millions or if ATLUS is generous the 100's of millions (Xbox 360 release???) of established users. I mean ATLUS only needs high res art/ voice over up the ass/ more animated cutscenes to get me pumped. I don't know but i know its a day 1 buy.

I'm pretty sure that the PS3 and the 360 have each pushed about 45m units, so for hundreds of millions it's also going to release on the Wii, the original DS, the PS2, and iOS.
I haven't heard anything about a Persona 5 so I wouldn't really know.
But I think they would put it out on PS4 and Vita, especially with all the cross-platform things going on with those two systems.
It'll be a WiiU exclusive, so no.
