Nope. Sorry Im just gonna have to disagree. I know what youre trying to say about Sypmphonia being the recognizable name but I dont buy it. Tales of is Tales of. The series has 1 million fanbase not just Symphonia.

Tales of does not have a 1 million fanbase. If that would actually be true, then they would have actually bought Abyss and Vesperia in America.

Yea will tell WoW that because Im not the person who originally said it. If "Symphonia" has a 1 million fanbase then so does Tales Of right? You cant say Symphonia has 1 million fanbase and use that as an excuse for bad sales of DotNW but meh sales for Vesperia. Those Symphonia sales are Tales of sales so Vesperia also had 1 millions users to feed off right?

Not at all.

"Tales of" is not well-known enough on its own to have a fanbase as large as its most popular game. Tales of Symphonia was a perfect storm on the Gamecube, and no other Tales game since that has come close to its success.

No, Vesperia did not have one million users to feed off of. Firstly, most of Symphonia's sales were on the Gamecube, and there's nothing to indicate that those owners would have bought a 360 thereafter. Secondly, Tales of Symphonia wasn't recognized as part of a brand by most of those buyers - it was just one game.

"Tales of" doesn't exist for the average buyer.
