Looks like P3 Remake will be announced at the Xbox event, going by the person who first leaked it.
If that ends up true, hey, that's a nice coup for Microsoft. They need a big announcement like that, wonder if the Jet Set Radio remake also gets revealed there.
But it also makes me think for sure then Sony has marketing rights on Persona 6 at the very least. Would be interesting in any case, Sony with Persona 6 and Microsoft with Persona 3 Remake. Given Sega's "strategic partnership" with the Azure team this is one of those perks I felt would end up dripping over to the Xbox side of things.
Also won't be surprised if each game is timed exclusive to their respective platforms, either.
You can always count on Sega to kill their own brand and kill their sales by announcing it at the Flop show of a flop console.
I think what they're doing is Persona 6 exclusive (at least timed) to PS5 and Persona 3 Remake having marketing rights with Xbox in some way. Dunno if P3R would be a timed exclusive to Xbox but this is Atlus, SMT5 is still exclusive to the Switch after all :/.
For now I'd probably just accept the scenario that PS5 is getting P6 as a timed exclusive, PS5 & Xbox Series getting P3R but Microsoft probably snagging a Game Pass deal for P3R and possibly marketing rights outside of Japan & Asia (Sony would probably get marketing rights in those territories because of common sense).
I'd be surprised if MS in any way got P3R as a timed exclusive and if so that would probably kill a lot of the hype for the game outside of America. That's just me looking into the reality that JRPGs don't have a big audience on Xbox, especially smaller (in comparison to FF and Dragon Quest) franchises like Persona. But anything could happen I suppose.
