Persona 5 is getting released in Japan this September 15th, same day as the kickoff to the Tokyo Game Show. It will only be available on PS3 & PS4 at that time. However, the North American release date is set for February 14th of next year, and the PAL versions of the game are all still TBA because of how Atlus and NIS America parted ways because of Sega's interference.
Anyhow, I'm curious, let's just say at Tokyo Game Show they announce Persona 5 is coming to the NX as well. And say the North American release date of Persona 5 is pushed back to March 31st to coincide with the release of the NX; if that's the case, which system would you get it for? Or let's just say the PS3 & PS4 versions are set for February 14th but the NX version is coming just a few weeks away when the NX launches, would that change your mind? Or, if you're in the TBA European regions, and it shows up there on both systems at the same time, which system might you think that you'd get it for?
I'd rather any discussion be less about whether this is likely, and just more where do you think your preference would be if it released for both PS3/PS4 and NX? Discuss.

I think it deserves some consideration, after all it seems as far as SMT and the subseries goes, Atlus has given Nintendo a lot of attention these last few years, with games coming to the DS/3DS like Strange Journey, Devil Survivor 1 and 2 on DS, Devil Survivor Overclocked and Record Breaker for 3DS, Soul Hackers for 3DS, Shin Megami Tensei IV for 3DS, Persona Q for 3DS, and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse for 3DS. They also had that SMT x FE / Tokyo Mirage Sessions for Wii U. I think Atlus has been much more favorable with these games toward Nintendo than they have for Sony in these last few years. Sony hasn't seen as much favoritism with these games since the days of the PSP/PS2, when they had titles like Persona 3, Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4, Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, two Devil Summoner games, a remake of Persona on the PSP and two Persona 2 releases, Innocent Sin & Eternal Punishment. But all they gotten since has been Persona 4: The Golden for Vita, which is a great game BTW, but there hasn't been much for these games for Sony except for Persona 5 being in development, unless you want to count Dancing All Night. But overall, I think it'd be hard to deny a stronger preference by Atlus toward Nintendo the last few years. I think there's a good chance Atlus might consider releasing Persona 5 on NX.
