so according to them TOG, FF13, Phantasy Star 2 & EOE are essecntially bombs = very bad sales

Tales of Graces actually seem moderate. The main thing I noticed about Tales games for Nintendo consoles they seem to do better in the rest of the World.

No, those ToG numbers wouldn't be moderate. That would make it the worst selling main title.

There was only 1 Tales game on Nintendo system that made it outside Japan, and it only sold good because GC was RPG starved and Nintendo itself helped promote the game.

The last couple of mainline tales did around 250k-330k in Japan. I am not combining tales of vesperia together since I think that the ps3 version is almost good as new.

They were on DS. Tales of the Tempest, the first DS Tales (not a main game though) was very bad and that also affected the sales of the later 2 DS Tales.

And there is no reason why not to count both Vesperias, so Vesperia basically sold ~500k. 

I mean come on, Vesperia sold ~190k on Xbox360, the "hated" console in Japan. ToS:DotNW, a low-budged spin-off did 220k. It wasn't even made by Namco Tales Studio, or at least not by Team Symphonia (Symphonia, Abyss , Vesperia) and Team Destiny(Rebirth, Destiny, Destiny 2, Destiny: Director's Cut). And since we're at it, Team Destiny's games are more liked and sell more than Symphonia's. Graces is also their game, while Vesperia was Symphonia's.

I don't see Graces selling less than 350-400k LTD. (in Japan alone)
