But ToS: DotNW was a spin off. ToV was a main series. ToS: DotNW still outsold ToV, and it definitely costed less too. I think we'll see with Tales of Ten how much a main Tales game can sell on the Wii. Since ToT is being made by Team Destiny most likely, I expect big sales because Team Destiny's games sell A LOT in Japan (I think their lowest selling game was over 600k).

Anyway, as people have said, good SW for the 360 but not that good for the series.

 

Yeah, that's why I said the most sensible path would be to develop with the wii in mind, and simultaneously release 360/ps3 versions with the same art assets, just higher render resolution. But that'd mean jap devs would need something like Framework or Crystal Tools and that's a lot of $$ to develop that kind of solutions and it's way too late into the cycle to do it.

Anyways, we'll always have the DS and the PSP, right? ;)
