The problem is the market in the west is split it two.
Namco should release the game on both consoles to maximise sales.
I'd love to buy the game, but i bought a 360 for vesperia and can't really afford to buy a PS3 for Tales of graces.
I did my part buying Tales of the abyss for the 3DS though.

Namco has always split their market, but you have to understand that a JRPG is going to sell more on the PS3 than either the 360 or Wii (worldwide, with all regions considered).
|
Yea its crazy how they split some of their games and make them exclusive, tales should really be a multiplatform jrpg.
|
Here i thought the most sucessful Tales title in the west came out on the gamecube... so much for the playstation theory.
Its exactly that kind of mindset that has to drop. Tales needs to be multiplatform to achieve great numbers. It has to be placed beyond the hardware choice and not before it.

I even talked about that in this very thread!
You're crazy if you think Graces would have done better on Wii than PS3 worldwide. I mean, the Japanese PS3 sales would most likely be within 100k of the Wii version's WW sales (if it followed anything close to Dawn of the New World). Namco will always put the game as an exclusive to one platform in the west. There hasn't been a single one which been released on two platforms in the West (including Symphonia which did well on the PS2).

I mean it might sell better on the wii in the west, but multiplatform wuld only help it.
