Wow so why would Namco want to put a game out on a system they know the game will flop on?

Yea I don't see this as an official confirmation yet. I'll wait for Namco to state it, not this. I mean it makes it more lean towards PS360, but Namco isn't dumb enough to put a big series like Tales on the 360, where it will most likely flop.

Because MS more than likely gave Namco some sort of incentive. I mean given the PS3's less than stellar performance in Japan, it can't be too hard for MS to keep getting exclusivity. Has a third party exclusive managed to exceed expectations in Japan on PS3 yet? I mean if MS foots the development costs, Namco makes money no matter how many units the game sells.

Edit: I am so sick and tired of MS getting deriding for "dirty tactics" for buying exclusives. Sony used the same tactics to get to the number one position in the market and no one cared. When MS does it, there is a problem. Hypocrisy strikes yet again.


yeah, cause the 360 is beaming with Japanese success! I hear they're going to rename Tokyo and call it "Bill Gates"

I can imagine the board meeting

"Alright team, if we release it on the PS3 we might be looking at 250k - 300k lifetime in Japan, A modest amount of sales. BUT, instead of that, we can drink paint thinner and then release it on the 360 and have Worldwide sales of around 200k!?!. Then after we come down from paint thinner induced pyschadelic high, we can see that our game sold like crap and release it in a few months on the PS3"

"sounds good boss"


LOL!

Heheh, well guys, I'm pretty sure that if this game doesn't sell well on the Xbox 360 alone (which will most likely be the case), it will be ported to the PS3 or maybe even the Wii!

I'm much happier now, because this *at least* confirms it will be released in America. Then I will be able to play both Tales of Symphonia: Knights Of Ratatosk on my Wii and Tales of Vesperia on my (by then I should have it) Xbox 360!
