lol at the Tales drop. 10k... After a 75k opening.

Namco Bandai expected it to sell 250k in Japan, just so people know.


Namco are idiots :P 

But even so it is a disappointment. I was hoping it could breeze past 150k... i guess tales and sony just go well together


Only in Japan! North America it is Nintendo and Tales, when compared to PS2/PSP. 

To be fair, I have no idea why a remake/port would do 250k in Japan. . . namely when it is typicaly for new games to just do a little above that level. 

well to be fair afaik it's not much of a nintendo and tales land in the NA either...ps3 had no tales release yet in the NA (afaik) and tales of symphonia did around 40k above the tales of the world on psp...so i believe 360 has the highest numbers in the NA for Tales games...

but overall WW, no question, it's sony and Tales all the way...Let's see how Tales of Graces F does in NA and EMEAA to get a better idea.

Using NeoGaf NPD data:
Tales of Abyss - 68k
Tales of Legendia - 74k
Tales of Symphonia - 465k (GC stopped tracking Feb 07)
Tales of the World - 30k

Quoting another user who is also using NeoGaf NPD data: DotNW was at 138k or 139k while ToV was at 145k

Overall it seems Sony fans in North America don't seem to respond well, I mean Vesperia outsold Abyss and Legendia combined. 

Graces F should do better, but the trend of Sony and Tales game isn't exactly the greatest. 


way too many tales and not a follower of the series so I'm getting confused here

just tell me this what makes you so sure NA is Nintendo and Tales land 'now'? I see the wii sales around 200k something and that's about it. I wouldn't be so sure if NA was tales land for nintendo anymore..I wouldn't be so surprised if Tales of Graces F passes those sales rather easily LT...even in the EMEAA.

and this is what I'm using btw

on another point which I totally forgot..did Dr. Lautrec or w/e his name game tank big time? 0_o for shame they should just port these games to PSV or PSP...the game didn't even chart! >_> as a fan of layton this is just sad....they should experiment with these games on other platforms

Now a days, it is hard to tell if Tales would do well anywhere honestly in NA, however I bet if Tales of Graces was release in NA, it would have done decently on the Wii. Also I some what trust NPD more in this case, namely on games like Tales of World, which was horribly recieved. (I trust VGC, just not on very niche titles).  

Pity we never got to see how well Tales of Hearts would have done on the DS (I bet it would have done meh). 

For some reason I find it also strange about Dr. Lautrec, it should have been able to sell somewhat to the Layton crowd that exists on the 3DS. Personally I don't think it would do that much greater on PSP (Not sure about PSV), but that is just me, the only platform that I think Layton-like games might do better on is Mobile market. (Similar to how I believe Monster Hunter on the 3DS while it would do decently, still won't do as well as the PSP counter part). 

Hopefully it will be better recieved over here, wonder what Famitsu gave it, and wonder how well Konami supported the release of the game.
