Well, yeah, OK. What I meant by "business as usual" was developing games in house for consoles and handhelds. As opposed to browser games or something. Or another thing I wouldn't want to see would be them being forced to work on their new owner's IPs.ZenErik wrote:If Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft purchase them it is NOT 'business as usual'. That's the problem. And yea, while Catherine may be the only game that they developed for PS3/360, keep in mind that that was the Persona team that made that game. And they've made every one of their games for PlayStation platforms, as far as I know.
At the same time, there was a Persona game announced for the 3DS quite a while back. And they never really elaborated on it. Could be Persona 5. Could be a remake or a spinoff (of a series that is already a spinoff).
While it may be true that Persona has strong ties with Sony systems, that really doesn't mean anything is set in stone for the future. We've plenty of long-running franchises jump to other console maker's hardware. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Mega Man, etc.
