@jobvd I’m going to preface this comment with the fact that I have no desire to play Persona 5 at all, and it makes zero difference to me whether it gets ported to Switch or not. There’s no emotional investment for me, and this certainly isn’t a case of “port begging” as you might call it.

But to insist that Persona will absolutely stay exclusive to Sony it’s not only foolish, but stands in the face of logic (and it’s technically already untrue, even without P5R coming to Switch). For starters, let’s address the elephant in the room. The Persona Q games are already on Nintendo platforms, making your initial statement untrue. But if you’d like to modify your original statement to say the mainline Persona games, we can discuss that, as well.

Nintendo itself chose to include Joker in Smash. There was little to no outcry from the Smash community to include this character, so it’s not fan service or an attempt to please a vocal majority. Nintendo clearly chose this character for a reason, and seeing as they stand to gain no financial benefit from his inclusion if the main title featuring Joker stays exclusive to Sony, I highly doubt they would have picked a relatively obscure character like this if there were no plans to release his game on Switch. This is very likely the case of tying in a new character to the release have a big game in attempt to synergize the success of Smash with the hopeful sales of Persona 5. And Atlus is and has been very friendly with Nintendo for years now. There’s zero reason why they wouldn’t want to expand the success of Persona to a desirable platform like the Switch. This is all even before you consider the constant flow of rumors from typically credible sources that a P5 port is in fact coming to Switch. Betting against a P5 port on Switch is a bit foolish, considering everything we know so far.

And once again, even if it comes to Switch, I won’t be buying or playing Persona 5. I couldn’t care less.

It sure is easy and cheap to throw out comments like the one you posted at the beginning of this thread. And you successfully got the attention you so badly wanted. Congratulations. But the problem with inflammatory comments is they don’t just go away. People read them and remember them and they can even find and reference them later, sort of like this one you posted in an article in February about all the Final Fantasy games coming to Switch:

“Lol at the sony ponies that thought these games would remain sony exclusives.“

The hypocrisy here is thick. The community may eventually have the very same “Lol” at your expense if and when Persona 5 makes the jump to Switch. But knowing you (yet another “Sony pony” and clearly just an attention seeking troll), you’ll likely just disappear, edit your original comment, or reply with some silly answer that completely ignores the points others are making, and then return to writing inflammatory little comments in an attempt to get people to notice you. I would be annoyed, but honestly I just feel bad for you.
