Namco's first priority is to circulate the PS3 version in the West. They haven't been happy with sales for quite some time, so it makes sense for them to narrow their focus and stick with the console that is guaranteed at least two successive Tales games. Releasing a Wii version that's missing 10 hours of content alongside the PS3 version that will be bought by PS3 owners and multi-console owners alike probably doesn't seem very lucrative.

Except that you fail to see that the PS3 iso can easily fit into a dual layer DVD 9. So that's just another example of Scamco's great business practices.

And how doesn't it seem attractive? If you are selling to two consoles then you reach 60 million potential buyers instead of the PS3s 19 million customer base. Plus most people don't care if a game is multiplatform or not, anyone that is talked out of a game because it isn't exclusive is an idiot 

I think that putting Tales of Graces on the Wii in the West is a pretty good idea, I think there is a market for it, the Wii is lacking hardcore JRPG's.

The problem is, the extra content hasn't been ported to the Wii yet, and if it hasn't released on the Wii in Japan then it wont release on the Wii in the West.

I doubt Namco would release two very different versions of the games simultaneously either.
