I'd hardly call that killing the series by releasing on the 360...
Have you any idea what the image of the Xbox 360 is in Japan? I can tell it to you and it’s not good.
None of the Tales of games have reached spectacular numbers lately and those mediocre Tales games like Legendia and Tempest have hurt the image of the series in Japan, and by linking the Tales of series, in this case the main Tales of, to the Xbox 360 (also known as the no-box in Japan) you can really hurt the series image.
I don’t hate the Xbox 360 and I even have one, but this is a really bad move form Namco and the problem is that most of the Xbox 360 owners don’t even care about J-RPGs. The best move from Namco actually would be releasing Tales of Vesperia after the release of Final Fantasy XIII for the PS3, because after this release the PS3 should have a spectacular base of J-RPG gamers (worldwide!).
