We don't know anything yet. Atlus are very tight lipped.

I doubt there are significant differences. It seems to me that the PS4 port is primarily for the western market where the PS3 is largely obsolete now, while the PS3 version is maintained for Japan where the new console generation has not sold well, so I would not be surprised if they're pretty well identical.

Yes. It's releasing this year in all parts of the world.

Lucky me is all I can say regarding the PS3 version. My father owns one he rarely uses, so I'll be taking some extended vacation to visit him.
Does "all part of the world" include Europe ? Because I have not heard a thing about Europe and this game so far.

Europeans have bad luck when it comes to Atlus. Maybe its time to throw in the towel and just play Enix remakes of old Square Soft games.

Yes, that includes us Europeans as well. It was confirmed a while back.

We should consider such hard hitting questions for future Codex interviews.

Actually it could come out in Europe pretty fast, at least judging by fast release of Q and Dancing All Night. Its ironic when games on non region locked console can get fast release but anything else mostly on 3ds at least few months/years later.

I'm actually really really hyped for this game, which is more than I can say for most of the other games coming or having come out over the course of this year. This will probably actually make me go out and purchase a PS4.
Things I'm unsure of
The rumored stealth/sneaking system, it could be good, it could be really dull, either way, if it's foisted upon the player with fail states if you don't do it well, it will not be looked upon kindly.
Morgana(The Cat) being potentially in the same role as Teddy. Unbearable puns aside, Teddy had a unique role of driving the plot. I'd like it if Morgana was more of a side character, rather than the driver of the initial plot line.
Bringing back guns for every character.
Things that make me feel really hopeful about this game.
The change ups they are doing in gameplay and plot look good. As well as a plot that is supposedly focusing on making the player run from conflict rather than dive right in and fight it head on.
The change in emotional themes. The director mentioned in an interview that he was trying to evoke what the actual youth in Japan and globally were feeling. Which is a great sense of apathy for the world. Not knowing what they want to do. Not knowing what direction to head in even. As well as mix in the day to day struggles of the youth. He also said somewhere that he didn't want you to be playing the private highschool golden students anymore.
The focus on delinquents as opposed to regular people. I'm hoping that they are more like Kanji and Akihiko than Junpei however. Or hell even better, more like any one of the persona 1 characters.
The music we've seen thus far is great. And the composer has said he's taking queues from Acid Jazz and some other genres rather than JHiphop or JRock.
