I’m expecting the same but it’s not necessarily guaranteed. It will, however, be a major advantage the PS4 would have over WiiU (region locked) and Xbox3 (will definitely be region locked).

PS4 won’t be Region Lock, Sony ain’t stupid

Please read my answer to haku. P4A was an exception due to the strong Yen and a near simultaneous US/JP release with identical content, i.e. Japanese audio and text in the US version. The genre is very niche already and Atlus didn’t want to lose sales in Japan. They were kinda paranoid about it, as only a few gaijin living in Japan would have imported the Us version anyways. 6k Yen is 6k Yen if you’re living in Japan, after all.

Just a hunch ;)
I have no solid evidence :P

The only reason it was region locked is because they released the Japanese and US version within 2 weeks of each other but feared that some Japanese gamers might have had been inclined to import an American copy because of the unfavorable yen-US$ exchange rate (the Japanese one converted to around 90US$ at release). As P4A was the very first Atlus game to include dual audio (and Japanese text) in the US version that fear might have been intensified.

Put in a nutshell: P4A was an exception due to a very strong Yen. This has already been discussed in detail on many websites ;)

You think P5 will be a PS4 title… why?

I’m worried more on the publisher than the hardware… In this case, Atlus….

reminds me of Anarchy Reigns delay(which had a 6 months delay)

freaking sega

PS3 isn’t region locked, but P4A is.

It could just be more freebies for preorder. They were supposed to get more than NA/JP for the long wait, and this stuff is pretty much exactly what we all got. Though a P5 announcement would be quite excellent.

PS4 launch title would be a strong argument for purchasing the system d1.

depends on Sony’s decision to region-lock PS4 :P

Atlus said they didn’t have a publisher at the time of the US release
