It's only a 3.1:1 lead, as oyvoyvoy said.  And you're comparing Tales to a friggin' new IP.  And you're assuming that the game won't continue to sell for the remainder of the week...despite apparently being sold out after the first day, with a new shipment arriving over the weekend.

Also, "barely selling more" is still selling more, which contradicts those posters that claimed the 360 sells more JRPGs in Japan than the ps3.  Which was a stupid argument to make in the first place, though some had the idiocy to make it.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the #1 selling JRPG on the X360 is a new IP. So is the 3rd biggest X360 game (TLR). Just because it's a new IP doesn't mean it's condemned to sell poorly.

 

 

We're not talking about total sales.  We're talking about first day/week sales.  Tales of Vesperia had the highest opening week of any 360 game.

Of course, if we are looking at legs, new IPs generally have better legs than known franchises.  Blue Dragon was selling much better in it's tenth week than Tales of Vesperia, despite Vesperia having a 22k higher opening week.  White Knight should have legs more akin to Blue Dragon, assuming the game is good (though the Famitsu score casts that in doubt).
