Vesperia is doing worse than I thought. I was expecting it to pass 200k LTD but that doesn't seem likely now...

 

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World made 26k in its second week on much wider userbase...what were you expecting?

 



2008 year end sales (made in January 2008):

44.2 M 27.1 M 20.8 M

i doubt the wii can do those polygons and AA.

Tos: Dotnw(Wii)

Tales of Vesperia(360)

Tales of the Abyss(Ps2)

Considering that the Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New world is far from pushing the Wii graphically, and the difference between that and vesperia isn't that much in terms of polygon count, I don't see your point. Tales of Vesperia has a cel-shaded art direction while ToS dotnw doesn't meaning there are probably even less/same amount of polygons in Vesperia because of the simplified art direction. The textures are the only thing that seems to be noticable, and seeing that the Wii will be able to pull the same textures off at a lower resolution a Wii port seems easy, and I bet there are more demanding Wii games than vesperia.(Galaxy, Corruption, etc). If downgrades are needed, which they are probably not I'm sure they would be very small and easy too do.

 

Did you play the demo? After beating the dog, that whole ocean scene. Absolutely beautiful. Stuff like that would to be done in CG for the Wii or gimped. And I thought Wii owners complained about gimped ports.

Oh please, stop exaggerating. Grandia III has a somewhat similar scene near Arcriff Temple and it looks quite nice. Ad that's PS2.

The PS3 had...a 2k increase. Nothing huge.

As for ToV...ouch, but Tales games are front loaded and ToV was on the 360. Still, this is like the first time a 360 title is in the top twenty so meh.

Wait...what?

I thought it looked more impressive than what I've seen in ES.

(off topic: Is Grandia 3 any good? Considering getting it.)

ToV looks a lot better graphically than ToS2. I have both games and I can see just by looking at them. Gameplay-wise, I'm not really sure as I'm not really playing them (my gf is a big tales of fan and I got them for her).

Good showing for ToV as it's clearly the 2nd best selling 360 game ever in Japan(Blue Dragon being first of course). I say clearly because after week 1 there were a few other 360 games close to it(% of error and all that stuff), but now it holds the 2nd place spot on its own. Hopefully it can manage to stay in the top 20 next week as well, or at least close to it. :)

Tales is selling very well for a 360 game. I mean its second week is almost as high as the wii tales game was and the 360 is still selling far above normal levels. Not bad at all, but then again my view on Vesperia was very conservative to begin with.

Hopefully this game will hit 500k once it hits Europe and US shores. ToV

dont too underestimate Wii's graphical processing power, its power is doubled compared to gamecube, it can handle alot more than any of the previous gen console
