I don't believe this just because I can't figure out how Namco could possibly try to sell this game a third time so soon. Then again, Dawn of the New World outsold Vesperia in Japan despite being the red headed spinoff so it could just be all about the monies.
A "spinoff" doesn't really make sense to me in this case because if you compare it to DotNW then it will clearly depend on a lot of reused assets. If Namco is putting all the effort into porting that stuff to Wii then they might as well push the famed original instead of saying "here's a spinoff!" And keep in mind that such a game would come after Graces which is already raising the bar for Tales.
They'd be better off making it Vesperia 2. |
Well, the PS3 version outsold the Symphonia 2 by a wide margin and Vesperia on PS3 looks like it'll pass 400k. Not too bad I think. |
It's 320k-ish now and has dropped under 5k weekly, 350k seems more probable and that's even a bit of a push. Might crawl to 400k eventually, but only with a budget reprint.
Graces will be the real test on Wii though. Full budget, main team, and even a helping hand from Nintendo with the bundle. If Graces doesn't sell well, it's over for Wii Tales imo.
