The "Tales of" series, and exactly why Vesperia is a "big deal"

Symphonia went to PS2, it is very likely that Vesperia will get a PS3 release in Japan, simply because it would be easy to port, and sell a lot of units.

With a PS3 release in a year or so, there is a lot of potential for sales of this game, worldwide. Particularly if it shares the same "cult classic" status of Abyss and Symphonia.

Isn't 360 -> PS3 hard to pull off? Or was it the other way around?

Either way I'd say a Wii port was more likely. There's no established Tales fanbase on the PS3 like there was on the PS2, with DotNW, New Tales, and Sword of Legendia, it's a little hard to argue that Namco has not chosen the Wii as its preference for the franchise. Wii also has a larger install base to sell to which makes an impact when you realize that Vesperia got outsold by a Tales gaiden. Lots of potential there.
