| oniyide said: @lordtheknight Final Fantasy is one game, and we all know that sold on its name. PS3 version did much better(not counting Japan numbers). Theres a slew of JRPGS on 360 and you know it. MS was securing a bunch of them at the beginning of the gen to try and sway japan audience, it was a valiant effort but it didnt work. @Mad55 most of those cases the PS3 games are late ports, late ports dont usually sell better than the original no matter what the genre or system. i was reffering to Tales of Vesperia really, that game only did a quarter mil in US, that crap #s considering Tales of symphonia on GC did better than that, and had a much weaker install base. |
I don't think it's fair to compare ToV sales in NA solely to ToS, you have to compare it to the entire franchise. ToS was a fluke in the Tales of world and shouldn't be used as a barometer for success in the series.
@Mad, I am curious what examples you have of a JRPG that released the same day on both consoles doing better on 360. I might agree with you if you meant that JRPG's have comparable sales in the West, but the idea that the 360 can do better at selling JRPGs has no foundation if you choose fair comparisons.
