Well Tales maybe for third but it wont sell so well.There is lot of those that are great JPRG games but wont just sell.

 

because the ones that tend not to sell that well really aren't that good. Tales of series fails (tremenously) when in comparison to ANY final fantasy and or DQ(and I hate DQ). DQ doesn't sell that well in americal either mind you. JRPGs suffer from the same sickness that FPSs suffer from, saturation. FPSs and RPGs last gen were a dime a dozen, many dont have the funds to pic up every mediocre game that comes out. That is why only the best of the best get noticed. If they cared about generating alot of sales they simply would make their games better, but they dont. The Tales series, as well as others, are simply there to generate a little bit of sales on a tiny budget, enough to make a reasonable profit. This is how the system works.

 

Well Tales of Eternia (for PSP) has sold 0.67k in japan alone.I think its 1 of best games ever made.

Grandia for Dc sold merely 1 million (Wikipedia) but Grandia for ps1,no record and to me Grandia is best game ever.
