What appears to be an accidental announcement from a pachinko industry publication holds that “a consumer announcement of PS3 exclusive Persona 5 is scheduled.”
The mention is slipped in with the industry announcement surrounding a Megami Tensei themed pachinko machine, so it seems unlikely to be an outright fabrication, though of course it could be genuinely mistaken, and it will almost certainly turn out to be “mistaken” and quietly excised.
Still, that the new Persona game will be initially released on the PS3 seems virtually a given considering the platform history of the Megami Tensei series, so this news is none too shocking, though certainly timely after the disappointing lack of a next generation Persona 4.

Add a PLAYABLE loli and I'll buy a PS3 for sure :3
Vesperia did it.
hahahahahahaha they should add one. In p3 they had a shota.
wow your a tool, who the fuck cares if you play as a little kid or not, grow up and just play a game cuz it's good you faggot
Excuse me, did i just heard someone butthurt complaining?
I have p3 & 4 and still have to beat them. I still have to play p4. But i hope p5 will be as good as the other 2.
Where's my Persona 4 sequel?! D:<
The Persona series has never been a real cash cow here in the states given it's mediocre(at best)sales of the PS2's various versions and it's likely to flop if released only on the PS3 here.If the producers want to make money, they'd make it for the other two systems and the DS and forget the PS3.
That my friends , is the truth, like it or not.
i'd say it's because of the market they were able to snatch. releasing a ps2 game 2 years after the launch of the ps3, and comments like the one above. even though it comes across as a very complex story at times it has levels of relateability even on a high school level. but some people will pick their favorite character type say the shota or the loli and zero in on that to death. or the ice queen or tom boy. at that point you either milk that base or move onward, and before you move on you've got to make your money back so...
lol, no
About fucking time they start using the "newer" hardware.
P4 was the last great PS2 game that's for certain
I can see the possibility for it to be in the next gen platform the PS2 has it's limits also maybe a next gen Persona game might include even more customization it can reach what the previous games can do like adding clothes, accessories maybe even gender selection or two separate games with different Protagonists one male and female until more news comes up let's keep our fingers cross
It's not like bringing Persona to current-gen systems is going to add much to the gameplay or anything. The limit of the PS2 has never gotten in the way in P4 anyway.
Next-gen = PS3 & 360
Current-gen = confusing term best avoided
And now I become a PS3 fan...
Persona 5 on 360 as well pleez.
They need to make another Persona game like Persona 2. If not, I'm not gonna bother playing the same shit over and over again if they keep this trend of P3 copies.
Knowing ATLUS, I highly doubt they'll use whatever hardware the PS3 has, and just make a game that looks like it should be on PS2. They don't exactly have the budget of namco or square.
P2 was awesome. Something like P2 with no technical limitations would be excellent!

thats what i read
Anon speculate that in this P5; it could be related to all the previous Persona games! Since it may happen on 2012 or later, there's a chance to meet Maya/Tatsuya's child, or Persona 4's MC! And an hidden path to rescuss P3's MC!
im kinda tired of the silent protagonist tho. i wish he woulda had some lines.
Great news, but I want Persona 4 too...maybe on PSN later ?
Wouldn't be surprised. Persona has ALWAYS been on the Playstations.
I will be looking forward for Persona 5, because Persona 4 was really good.
P5 Needs Aigis!
I want her back! I miss her so much.
Or maybe some adult Persona user in P5 like Adachi/Takaya.
School = Work, Evening, Night, next day!
BTW: was elizabeth trying to save the lazy emo P3MC?
Maybe it was a Hint for P5! (MC got Life, World died, like Lucifers Call Style)
P5 needs Naoto. (And all the characters from P4).
So that they can get a history.
i'm currently playing p4 and i really like it,....in fact i like it so much that i imidiatly ordered the FES edition of p3 the moment i found it, still if i consider to buy a ps3 in the near future persona 5 would be the only game i would buy it for.
If it's true then this Anon gonna buy a PS3 for real!
PC superior? I was but not is
None of you morons would use your brain or do some checking.
In the 80s there was a huge crash in video game industry and North America was heavily struck.
The Japanese people managed to make video game revive, but the result is that most games are released on consoles.
Why? Because Microsoft & Apple are both American, not Japanese.
Fuck to your PS3/XBOX superior theories. PC is just now suffering the aftermath of that huge crash. Doesn’t mean it is dead or will never heal.
Also, why Microsoft is releasing games on xbox?
Because the PC has been trying to reclaim its status since the crash but never really succeeded, so…
In the past it was JAPANESE CONSOLES COMPETING each other, DC, GBA, PS, PS2,Saturn, pc never had a chance to beat them. Now you get xbox.
Stupid westerners, one more day you support PS3, one more day you are slowing down Western world to reclaim their status in Video Game Industry.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172266
The Japanese have realized that their industry is now sick and needs reform bur you foreigners are still supporting! You are even more stupid !!
Dude stfu. Who fucking cares which country made what.
Japanese shouldn't be the only producers of video games. If you don't like an international market, then go build a time machine and go back to the great depression.
Calling people foreigners on a website is beyond pathetic. The internet doesn't belong to any one country.
Shit, now I gotta get a ps3..
aye can some1 give me a hint of what persona is like? i might get into it, the art looks good.
Words can't describe the awesomeness of Persona. Go get it now.
^QFT
i doubt atlus even has enough funds to make it for both systems
unless the next shin megami tensei game does really well on the ps3, if they even release one on it, i doubt atlus would keep making 't games for it. they aren't exactly a big name company with money to burn. this is probably why they didn't want to risk putting persona 4 on a next gen console just yet because the ps2 was still performing well enough for a release on it to be plausible.
God, i hope they make it dual audio cause you can't get undubs for ps3 games :p.
Oh God now i have to buy a PS3 for this nuuu....
Although i have always been a PC gamer it was not until ps3 release that i bought a ps2 and play all the major title (Persona include) now i wonder when will be the right time to get a PS3.
meanwhile, Kotaku and siliconera report it as the next Shin Megami tensei game, not Persona 5.
Entirely different things. One was an announcement of an announcement which revealed a new SMT game, and then there is this.
Could it be related to this:
http://new.atlusnet.jp/swf/top.swf
Rather than a Persona 5 game, but seeing that I can't read what it says on that image, I could be mistaken, and I hope I am, I much rather have Persona 5 on current gen consoles.
Artefact, Anim3Fr33K, you guys should work on your reading comprehension.
Granted, the Anonymous didn't help with his odd English.
He meant to say if it weren't possibly related to the recently announced Shin Megami Tensei game (which he linked) rather than Persona 5.
However, he hopes that suspicion is wrong, as he'd much rather have a Persona 5 on PS3, than a Shin Megami Tensei game ona PS3 (hence "current gen consoles"--he wasn't talking about the PS2 at all).
i say why stop there
ps - 2000
ps2- 2006
ps3- 2009
ps4- 20xx
we are half way there, lets put on our head gear, sensor gloves, ddr pads and interact with our classmates!
hmm got the numbers wrong, it was 1994 2000 2006 what was i thinking
I know what he said, I'm saying he is wrong. What is written is unambiguous:
コンシューマーで発表が予定されている
Playstation3専用ソフト『ペルソナ5』と共に
各地で「メガテンブーム」を巻き起こすこと必至!!
I want Persona 5 to be on the PS3, I want SMT:IV to be on the PS3, do I make myself clear now?
The poster needs to work on his English and give the RPGs a rest then.
^
Yup.
Eh, if you knew what he was saying, then what's that "10-year-old-console" remark is about?
It says "Persona 5" so you will just have to suck it up and dump your 10-year-old console.
Technically PS3/360 are the current gen consoles.
