It is not that simple.

According to famitsu Tales of Zestiria sold nothing digitally, which to me sounds impossible.

Famitsu January sales with digital

01. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch 2: Shinuchi (Level-5) - 642.516 (634.709 / 7807)
02. [3DS] Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire (Pokemon Company) - 366.131 (361.437 / 4694)
03. [PS3] Tales of Zestiria (Bandai Namco) - 316.824 ( 316.824 / - )

However the numbers are far below MC.

Here you can see a deal to buy Tales of Zestiria for 30% off digitally, (50% with PS plus) ~3 months before its release.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/242/G024236/20141022039/

So not only does Zestiria have whacky digital numbers, Berseria will for sure have more digital sales.

That's what happens when you post a link in japanese without fully understand the language.

Tales of Zestiria for PS3 wasn't available at digital at launch. And the link you posted it's just about a campaign due to the launch of Tales of Zestiria where you can get good discounts for other Tales of games series. During three month, every week, the discount games were planned to change. During the first week (from Oct 22 to Oct 28) Tales of Eternia and Tales of The World were the two games with discounts.

The error is assuming Zestiria would be digital as opposed to the other games, and I didn't scroll all the way down.

So does Tales of Berseria have a digital version? If so that would certainly help against the 0 sales for Tales of Zestiria.

As far as I remember no one was expecting 300k lol

Pretty sure around 250k were the expectations. YSO had it at 224k.

Was it a decent opening for a Tales game?

Also, seems like the mojo is now 17K+

It's behind all of it's last gen predecessors, even if you combine both versions, so... Well, I don't think that's good.

Tales of Xillia (PS3) - 512,544

Tales of Xillia 2 [PS3] - 364.439

Tales of Zestiria (PS3) – 340,891

Tales of Berseria (PS4) - 173.537

Tales of Berseria (PS4+PS3) - 249.723

Let's hope it will have at least some decent legs.

That isn't entirely true as Tales of Hearts, Innocence, Graces, and Vesperia were all mainline titles just like Beseria is. Beseria is way down from the previous revitalization that Xillia brought on PS3. An expected disappointment after preorder numbers and reception following the buyer's remorse from Japanese Zestiria purchases.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Ya that would be correct, only one person was doing the cheer squad section every day, which made it seem like it was doing fine. A week or so ago, I hoped for 300k, and felt lower than that would get into disappointment region since it would continue the decline. However it was expected based on the last day COMG.

Day 1 was what, 210,000 (70% of 1st shipment?)
