For a XB360 game, perhaps ToV is selling well, but for a Tales Of game, it's selling very badly.
That's without taking into account that ToV profited from one week holiday (Obon lasts from 13th to 15th of July) where traditionally game sales are higher than normal. And it didn't even reach the 2nd week of, again, a far less prominent Tales Of games on Wii in a normal week. At least preliminary data shows that, I'll wait MC numbers to be sure. People can spin the numbers all they like, but they're abysmal even for a Tales Of game.
It seems like there's a logical process going on when a japanese XB360 title is actually timed exclusive: the game is very quickly ported to NA and Europe, even faster than Blue Dragon was. |
If that is true then ToV actually missed the holiday. In truth however Obon is celebrated for some in mid July and for others in mid August. Then you go on to compare the 360 sales to the Wii which has an almost 6mil lead in userbase. Not to mention there has been talk of supply constrain on 360s in Japan since Microsoft failed to anticipate demand. I don't think you can really make a fair comparison here.
Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
