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

Its almost like SMT going exclusive to 360. Sure a bunch of die hard fans like myself who would buy it on day one would purchase a 360 for it even though I hate multiple consoles. SMT is too hard to resist except the game gets very bad reviews. SMT is not the kind of series where you wait for a price drop because you'll only get a price hike when the scalpers have all the copies left lol. Hopefully M$ won't pay for SMT....I doubt they think it matters lol.

Rant over. Conclusion: Tales is not that big of a deal. Its not even a big deal period. No JRPG outside FF and DQ are a big deal anywhere!

 

It's a big deal for gamers. If you thought I was talking about sales, you misunderstood. By your assertions, no consoles are a big deal outside of the DS and the Wii.

In reality, MS is bringing a few hundred thousand fans exactly what they want. Myself, being one of those fans, finds it to be a huge deal.

The FF series has some fantastic games. As far as that goes, I think MS did a great job in obtaining FFXIII.

If Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, WKS, Disgaea 3, and The Last Remanant and which console these games land on isn't a "bid deal" you coulda confused me with all the heated discussions going on about them on this forum. You could include Verses13 in that list, since it isn't a numbered Final Fantasy, and therefore won't sell as much simply because of its title. Does that make it a non-entity, or not a "bid deal"?

You would be right about the consoles if they hadn't all broken 10 mil. However, the wii is still a much bigger deal than the ps360 because of its mainstream appeal. Ps360 are still alive and kicking because of the wii being a "non-traditional" console and its inability to sell third party traditional games very well.

Those other games are not big deals till they prove otherwise. It depends on how many of those gamers you mention who actually care enough to buy those games. I know people who cried about ff13 not being exclusive to ps3 yet they've never played an FF in their entire lives. Fanboys rant for the sake of ranting on websites like this. What people spend money on is what constitutes the "big deal" to the public. "Tales of' may be a big deal to you but it seems like the vast majority of the gaming community beg to differ.
