I have it has sold as much it would have anyway technical problems or not. These games sell most of copies on its first week, and trust me, no one knew about these techical issues until after.

If you actually take a look at sales for the mothership games, Graces has the worst legs among them by a HUGE margin.  It's really self evident that the bugs led to negative word of mouth and that really handicapped it's long term sales.  Compare that to Vesperia 360, which had excellent wom and went on to basically double it's first week sales lifetime.  Namco dragging their feet with the recall (didn't happen until Feb iirc, which means after Graces f would've gone into production) didn't help either.

I'm a little surprised you're so unwilling to even slightly acknowledge that Graces' release was at all troubled and really maintain it did the best it possibly could have on the platform, it's issues were widely known and so severe that it actually had a recall and replacement program.  If that isn't logical enough reasoning for it's historically bad legs (rather than simply saying "lol Wii") then the game only selling as well as the Symphonia KOR, despite Graces inarguably superior pedigree and positioning, should clue you in that Graces Wii actually could have sold better than it did .  That doesn't mean it would outsell Graces f on PS3 (it wouldn't), just that it didn't move as much it potentially could have on Wii.

I somewhat agree that maybe its legs might have been affected by the so-called tech issues, but what is the reason for the first week sales in a time wii was selling crazy, game got the best scores for tales games.
