@Riachu I would go with the established series selling better. Also Namco is big enough to get some bad sales, and DS/Wii developement costs aren't too much so both of Tales of Hearts and the Wii mothership title should sell well. Weren't there many tales of games on the PS2 which had many rpgs as competition, and they all sold pretty decent.

Tales does sell well, in Japan.  Other than Symphonia, Tales games haven't done that great in the West.  Maybe it will change with Vesperia but we can't be sure how the 360 userbase will receive it.  It's just that I am still choosing between ToV and IU.

 

Yeah because selling over 500k in Japan only isn't alot right? After looking Tales of Destiny sold 830k, Phantasia sold 540k, and Abyss sold 570k. There aren't too many games that do better than that. Also we don't know how good IU will be, and how well it will be marketed.
