PS3 had a slight increase in Japan? XBOX 360 had a drop as TOV dropped

Tales is selling very well for a 360 game. I mean its second week is almost as high as the wii tales game was and the 360 is still selling far above normal levels. Not bad at all, but then again my view on Vesperia was very conservative to begin with.

 

For a XB360 game, perhaps ToV is selling well, but for a Tales Of game, it's selling very badly.

Namdai must be crapping its pant with how they are destroying their series, now that they realise what they've done. They already destroyed it on handheld, so they pretty much know what they have to do now.
ToV, a main game with far more development time and money spent on it than ToS:KoR, an escort game, sold way less!

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.

 

 Really? Considerin Vesperia is basically following suit of ToS2, I think its selling quite decently for a Tales game, considering the Wii fanbase is multiple times larger. Also, Tales of hearts has sold roughly the exact same amount in the exact same time. Tales of the tempest sold worse.

@wii hopefuls: I'm gonna suppose none of you have even looked at the official ToV blog at IGN. They constantly talk about how the supperior hardware has allowed them to do much more with the game series then ever before. The Wii is awesome, but really, this argument is dragging into the ignorant zone.
