 And Graces absolutely has to outsell Vesperia now.

Why is that?

   Because it would make no sense if the highest rated Tales of game in history, launched on a 9 million userbase in the middle of December will not be able to outsell a one year late port launched on a console with 3.5m userbase.

I agree with this actually...

You do? Isn't this a similar logic to the logic that proclaimed MH Tri a flop despite being the highest selling console game of this generation in Japan? To me this looks like a pre-troll attempt (pre-troll - preparing the ground for later trolling when, as seems to be indicated by preorder numbers, the game sells less than stellar numbers).

 

[added]Whenever someone brings up the userbase argument, this raises my alarms. As anyone frequenting this site should know quite well, it doesn't matter how much of a user base there is for a console, what matters is their tastes. So if out of 3.5 million PS3 owners 1.5 million love jrpgs, but out of 9 million Wii owners only 1.4 million love jrpgs, then a jrpg should sell slightly better on the PS3.[/added]
