Sweet, can't wait to pick it up.

Namco are going to need to advertise this game if they want decent sales, this game needs to sell well so they can localise the Tales of Vesperia PS3 content =).


;) it aint coming. if anything graces sales will determine future games like xillia and prob ngp and 3ds tales games.

That's exactly what they said about Graces, don't be so cynical.

They have already made the full game for the Playstation 3, the only thing they need is English VA for the extra content.

I loved the game on the XBOX 360 but that extra content just teases me so much.

come on why release so many old games im not being cynical more realistic. Id rather them put money into a new game then  a game we got.

Because the localized ToV would probably sell as much if not better than ToGF, the only difference is, ToV would take a lot less effort to localise.

Yea but alot people already played it on 360 no ones played graces or Xillia.

What's stopping them from getting the version with extra content? I myself have completed the game on the XBOX 360 2 times, if it comes out on the PS3 I wouldn't hesitate to complete it another 2 times.

And as I said before, the demand on the PS3 for a localised versino of ToV is huge, not many Tales fans own an XBOX 360.

How do you know alot of tales fans dont own a 360? what are you basing that off of. because symphonia is the best selling tales in america not a sony tales. and abyss and legendia didnt sale anywhere near as good as symonia in america. I actually believe that symphonia 2 and vesperia are above abyss and legendia in terms of american sales.

How do I know that most Tales fans don't own an XBOX 360? Simple.

The XBOX 360 is an American console and caters to a Western audience.

The PS3 is a Japanese console that caters to all audiences.

Most XBOX 360 owners just want to play Call of Duty and Halo online, that is the console's main audience, teenage kids who want to play online shooters. Just because you own an XBOX 360 and you enjoy Tales of Vesperia doesn't mean every single other XBOX 360 owner is the same. Like I said before, not only do the vast majority of XBOX 360 have no interest in the game, they have no respect for it either, and that's what pisses me off the most.

The sales of JRPG's speak for themselves. If you take a JRPG that hasn't had any of this timed exclusive or exclusive content bullshit and compare the sales, the PS3 would have a decent advantage in the West and the Japanese sales would bump the lead even higher. The only reason the XBOX 360 has a small Tales fanbase is because they were forced to buy an XBOX 360 when ToV was released as an exclusive.

And what makes you think I am saying that Tales series will only sell on SONY consoles? I mean ANY console. As you said, Symphonia sold the most and that was a Gamecube exclusive. The point I am trying to get across is that the XBOX 360 is the least JRPG friendly console on the market, mainly because it is the only successful console made in America.

It would be a bad business decision for Namco to release Tales of Graces on the XBOX 360 in the west. Playstation 3 is a no brainer because the game has already been coded to the PS3 in the Japanese release. The Wii would probably be a good platform to put it on aswell, Namco only need to port the content and there is a huge market for JRPG's on the the Wii.
