Well the Wii sold well in JPN, why I brought it up. And do you have an actual source for ToA 3DS > PS2?

No, just sounds like a way for Nintendo fans to port beg, which is pretty common on these boards. But yeah, having the portability is definitely a cool factor for anyone interested in a gaming console, thats true.

Yes, yes please look at the only solid numbers we have on VGChartz. The 3ds version outsold the ps2 version by around a couple hundred thousand... that kind of says a lot.

And no, it's not port begging. These companies know that they need to make money so if they see a need on Switch, they'll support it. Which is the reason why they announced a Tales game coming to Switch. We didn't need to beg for that, it's just that Nintendo's hardware can finally allow for multiplatform tales games. And for the record, I'm not a strictly Nintendo fan. I didn't even grow up playing Nintendo, I had a PS1 and Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, FFVII, etc. I just find a lot more value in the Switch over PS4 right now, and that's just me.

lol ? There was a single Tales game on a Nintendo device when the series became a PS staple. Its always been a largely PS thing unlike FF. And how many times have the revisited Nintendo for good results?

I gave you the most recent one, Tales of They Abyss. And Tales of Symphonia...which outsold the PS2 version as well. And Dawn of the new World... Tales became a PS Staple because of the same reasons FF did, the PS1 was easier to program, more storage for sound and video, it was versatile between sprites and 3d rendering, etc. They didn't just decide to not support the 64, lol. They made sound decisions not to support the 64, and then returned on Gamecube, GBA, Wii, DS, 3DS, and now Switch.

I mean again... source? numbers? you are doing a good job of just telling us about quantitative facts, and doing an equally good job of not telling us how you know. i mean im not being snarky here, I legit want the source.

Based on VGChartz's sales, which is all we have tbh. You can do the math, here: http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Tales+of&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200

haha ok buddy, breathe. switch will swiftly surpass PS4 sales? wow ok... THE platform to support is the one with the current lowest install base? ill keep that in mind .

lol, THE platform to support is the one that has hit half the PS4 install base in less than a year (in Japan, where these games do best). Of course it isn't going to swiftly hit 67 million. And I wasn't even talking about hardware. The tales game that comes to both PS4 and Switch, the Switch version will outsell it. That's all I'm saying.

For Japanese developers the Switch should be supported and Japanese developers are finding out the hard way. Just for reference in Japan, a game like Lost Sphear. The Switch version only sold 2k less than the PS4 version with less than half the install base. It's not always about going straight to the console with the highest install base, sometimes it's about speaking to the right audience. My bet is still on the table if you're a betting man.

The last one YOU thoroughly enjoyed was 12 years ago.  Perhaps YOU have changed in that time?

Whenever I see post like that I always think people are just banking on nostalgia.  Like the people going "the last good FF was FF6".

The last Zelda I enjoyed was Link to the past. That doesn't mean the series got bad, means I lost interest in it.
