So we have established that Atlus put Persona 4 on the PS2 over the PS3 becuse of the larger platform base. So wouldn't it make sense that they put P5 on the Xbox 360 becusae there are Significatly more 360 than PS3s out there? I'm a 360 owner and I would love to see one of my favorite franchises move onto my favorite system. 
 
EDIT: Crap screwed up the title!

I'm pretty sure that it was already decided that it was coming to both platforms, was it not? It's too niche a game to have any half decent sales on the PS3 alone.

It's likelihood.
 
...sorry.

I think you meant likeliness not likeness, and i heard that it was coming to both also.

it could be both but all i've seen is that its going to be on ps3 (that was way back in 06 i think though)

i could see it coming out on the ps3 exclusively in japan but multiplatform elsewhere. 
 
ala - final fantasy 13.

That'll most likely happen.

As much as I would like for it to come out on the 360, I'm pretty sure it'll stay a Sony exclusive. I would totally buy it for the 360 if it did come out for it and I didn't have a PS3 yet.

Its possible. To little of this game is know right now to say.

...How do you know it is even coming out anytime soon? Granted it would be stupid for them not to make P5, and I believe Shoji Meguro did say that they were working on 2 secret products. But they could just as well be working on something not in the MegaTen series.

 I can't see Atlus Japan making an XBox 360 version solely to be localized for the US market.  It'll either be a PS3 exclusive or multiplatform, but it's not going to pull a FF XIII and be both. "

I think it'll be PS3 exclusive but only because it's very Japanese and they might try something else for 360. If it does come to 360 it'll probably be "geared towards western markets". Let's say it'll take place in an all-girls or all-guys (or both) Catholic high school. Maybe set in Europe, maybe north-eastern US/Canada. 
 
But they may be putting Persona to rest for a bit and focus on other MegaTen games.

i would bet that there will be a psp run at some point since that seems to be the recent trend

I think the Sony exclusive in Japan, multiplatform everywhere else is a plausable one. But if I were going to bet on it I would probably take Sony exclusive whether that means PS2 or PS3.

While Atlus have been good to the few American fans out there, but I don't think they'd go through the trouble of putting it on the 360. If you haven't noticed; JRPG's have always been a fiasco on the 360. As far as I know, Persona is pretty much a Sony exclusive and the PS2 is dying so it's logical to conclude that they would release the game on the PS3. However, I cannot say for sure, all we can do is wait. 

If anything it will be a multiplatform 360/PS3 title...definitely not exclusively on the 360, not a chance. Still a higher chance of it being PS3 only , though.

fingers crossed

Possible, multiplat would be best no ?

It would either be sony exclusive or multiplatform. I couldn't guess which one is more likely, though.

Considering how Japanese of a game Persona is, I'd declare it lunacy to expect it to come anywhere near the 360. The 360 may be popular in the US, but everywhere else in the world, the PS3 is on top. And as for being multiplatform... I don't think Atlus has the kind of budget needed to make a niche JRPG for two platforms. Sorry for pooping all over your dreams but it looks like Persona 5 will absolutely positively be a PS3 game.

To be totally honest I could see them putting the game on the Wii, however if they are making a HD Persona I would imagine they would go the route of FF13.

I really hope that it comes out on the 360. I really wish that I was getting all of these Heavy Rain trophies as Xbox 360 achievements.

I doubt it Persona is a very very very niche series here, p4 got alot of coverage here but still doesn't detract from the fact the series does not get alot of coverage here It will stay a Sony or nintendo game for a long time over here.

" @carlthenimrod:  That's not really correct either... The PS3 has always been infamous for being difficult to code multiplats for. PC/360 are the platforms that are easiest to port between, but the PS3 has an entirely different architecture. "

Are there any Atlus that have actually been releasd on the 360? 
 
EDIT: There are a few, but nothing big. (I of course mean "big" in the context of Atlus products.)

Unless Atlus gets some moolah from Microsoft for exclusivity, I don't see any big hurdles that they could encounter during the development.
 
Plus, they make games for both PS2, PSP and DS (Of the SMT variety), so they don't have a particular brand loyalty. However, I would like to play it on the PS3 - it'd just feel right.

They should release it on PS2 exclusively, just for shits and gigs.

Humongous.
 
The Japanese game market is still slowly dying and P4 sold very well here in Europe. They'd be fools not too target a worldwide audience. Especially with the ever growing weeaboo crowd which would gobble it up.
Not to mention the sheer amount of so called third party exclusives going multiplat.
Remember that the entire Shin Megami Tensei franchise has never been a Sony exclusive.

All this thread has taught me is that I really like Persona 4.

The difference between console install bases isn't that drastically different anymore. PS3 has pretty much caught up to the 360.

Most likely PS3 to be honest. From what we can tell the PS3 fanbase support JRPGs more than the 360 fanbase. This is especially true because of the sales in Japan. Furthermore due to the content of a SMT game I doubt they'll find much success on the Wii due to the demographic it's painted for itself and the fact that the JRPGs on the system have all bombed. Hell didn't the 1-year old port of Tales of Vesperia outsell the new Tales game on the Wii/DS?

Maybe this is one series Sony will lock down and pay for it.

Demon Souls PS3 exclusive Persona PSP Psp exclusive Persona 4 PS2 exclusive Atlus has never made an xbox game ever

Demon's Souls was made by From with money from Sony, Persona was a remake for a handheld and P4 was made using the P3 engine which was developed for the only console that made sense at the time.  None of that tells us anything.  Mega Ten games show up on Nintendo platforms all the time for example.. 
 
The US will likely account for about 40% of projected P5 sales and the 360 still has like a 10m unit lead in the US over the PS3 so assuming a small port cost no reason for it not to be ported over.

I bet my shirt it'll be a PS3 exclusive.

" Demon Souls PS3 exclusive Persona PSP Psp exclusive Persona 4 PS2 exclusive Atlus has never made an xbox game ever "

I'd say there's a good chance of it being multiplatform. 

Even developers like Insomniac seem to be going multiplatform.  Unless you're being heavily backed by one of the big three, it's very unlikely we'll see many exclusives in the future.  Especially for a somewhat niché game that's going to need to pull as many sales as possible.  The Japanese may not buy it on the 360, even if it were somehow exclusive.  But everywhere else in the world the 360 has a big enough market for a game like this.
