Wouldn't they make more money if they released to a bigger audience ? Or did these guys fail in their maths classes. No wonder their company is sinking :S |
Basically Namco-Bandai don't exactly make the best business decisions when it comes to localising. It seems the fact that Tales of Symphonia is the best selling Tales game is lost on them; it received a massive marketing push in the West by Nintendo including bundles. It's not just Tales that gets the shaft either, Europe never got Katamari Damacy or 2 of the Xenosaga games either.
In Europe the only Tales games to see a release here are Symphonia 1 and 2, Vesperia and Phantasia Advance. For the later, Nintendo had to localise and publish it. I'm hoping Nintendo steps in to localise Tales of Graces, or does a marketing/publishing deal like they did with the likes of Monster Hunter 3, Prof Layton and Dragon Quest IX
