Have anyone considered the possibility that Vesperia might have been a more attractive, or even a better, game? Famitsu reviews aside, what do the Japanese gamers think of the game? That's the most important missing piece of the puzzle as to why Graces isn't doing as well as it should.
This has nothing to do with damage control, it's trying to find the cause of the problem instead of using conjecture to put blame where it may not belong (which would be on the user base). I know it's easy to just blame Nintendo, the Wii and its user base, but try to fight the urge. |
I just think the game was drowned out by FF XIII and NSMB. That's what GAF store impressions seem to say too. Just hope Namco don't be idiots again and pull off the same with any other Tales. ToG's LTD sales should be respectable though. Not amazing in any way but respectable.

I do agree that sandwiching it between two of the biggest and most anticipated games this generation was a stupid move. It also probably didn't help that 3rd parties have done a very poor job growing a market for their games on the system.
My biggest concern right now is what Namco will do next. I worry that they'll take this as a sign to redirect resources away from the Wii, like many 3rd parties are doing.
