I'd  love to get a list of  games released on both sytems in Japan and their sales numbers.

And I keep hearing how tales went against FFXIII, didn't Tales PS3 go against MH3 psp which is much bigger?

MHP3 isn't in the exact same genre as FFXIII or Graces.  It's not like NSMBWii killed Graces sales (or FFXIII's sales for that matter).

MHP3 likely did take a bite out of Lord of Arcana, God Eater Burst, Fairy Tale and (soon) PSP2i to some degree though.

How do you know? Both games were released on two different systems which have noting in common. And there is twice as many Wii owners as PS3 owners.

Both Tales went against big games, The PS3 one came out on top. Deal with it.

We know because the JP retail blogs pretty much said so.  Lots of RPG buyers waited on Graces in favor of FFXIII, and when word of Graces massive bug issues spread, it basically killed sustained sales (Graces has the worst legs of any mothership Tales game, by a significant margin).  Why else exactly do you think Graces Wii (mothership game, Team Destiny, hardware bundle, holiday release, tons of ads) sold worse than Symphonia KOR (side game, Team Interns, no bundle, summer release, hardly any ads)? 

And deal with what?  I think Graces f would've sold better regardless, just like how Tales games sell better on PSP than DS.  That doesn't mean there aren't things that could've helped Graces Wii sell better than it did though.
