Forums - Gaming Discussion - Tales of Vesperia Coming to PS3

Jason77 on 10 September 2008

Namco Bandai has released a list of upcoming 2008 titles. While the list includes stuff we already know (SoulCalibur IV), it does offer up new tidbits like RPG Tales of Vesperia being confirmed for Xbox 360 and the PS3. Namco Bandai has since corrected the list, stating that it's only an Xbox 360 title. But really, is this a surprise? Namco Bandai, like Capcom, seems to be making pretty much all its games multiplat. The list also includes some new titles like a *surprise* Gundam game for the PSP as well as a Naruto title for the PS3. There are also Namco Bandai's predictions regarding how well the games will do! Hit the jump for the full list:

SoulCalibur IV PS3, Xbox 360 2 million units
Afro Samurai PS3, Xbox 360 800,000 units
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 PS2 600,000 units
Dragonball NDS 500,000 units
Super Robot Taisen Z PS2 500,000 units
Tales of Vesperia PS3, Xbox 360 500,000 units

yes this is true, it was originally pencilled in for ps360, then went 360 only, it will be timed like eternal sonata.

if eternal sonata sells more on ps3 then namco should be condemed for that, as they choose backpayment, over raising thier gaming profile

Namco don't need to raise their gaming profile.

They are just choosing to put their JRPG's on the only next generation system that has been proven to sell that genre.

Oh, don't start man. There's no way it can end well, and no point if it did.

I do hope ToV goes multiplat. Great game, imo. I like it when great games can be played by more people.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm sick of elitist PS3 fans saying things like "Japanese devs have no credibility because they made a title Xbox 360 exclusive."  Vesperia sold excellently on the Xbox 360, as have many other JRPG's.

The only JRPG released on the PS3 is Enchanted Arms and it sold better on PS3 than on 360 despite being a port that was released months later.

Well, the PS3 has no high-profile RPG's at all, so it hasn't really had a chance to show its selling capabilities in this genre.
