I highly doubt that, Tales of Xillia 2 just released on PS3, and won't release outside of Japan until 2014 as it is. Plus PS3 owners already have the Symphonia HD remakes to look forward to.

I think, if this isn't a Wii U game (since they say they have no plans for a next get Tales), it's likely a 3DS game. Tales of the Abyss, a remake, sold 65% as well as the best console Tales this gen, and it sold 90% as well as the original game, despite releasing early in 3DS's life.

Plus releasing the game for 3DS means that people outside of Japan will likely get the game too, since 3DS will be selling well in 2014/2015, thus boosting sales.


Oh... doubt all you want. I'm 100% sure this game will be for the PS3. Hideo Baba was quite clear about it as were the japanese with the Xillia launch. He was adamant that the japanese were clear that they want tales on Playstation platforms and that they have no plans to develop for next gen at the moment.

They could port some old tales to the 3DS though. But i think even the Vita has a better chance than the 3DS.

Did they say they want ALL future Tales on Playstation platforms? Namco Bandai has been very jumpy with their Tales of Releases. While they do clearly prefer Sony, they do support Nintendo.


For the near future that is exactly the case.

I guess you havent been keeping up with the last years of the tales studio's situation. The studio was in dire financial trouble after Vesperia failed to perform on the 360 and Graces failed to perform on the Wii as they antecipated besides a plethora of bug issues. Before that the DS tales all failed aswell. The studio was about to bankrupt and was absorbed back into namco, but not without first revealing their last title of sorts. That title was Xillia and was released for the PS3, it was the studio's final hurrah to keep the tales series relevant (it had been in decline). also the vesperia and Graces PS3 ports sent a clear message aswell, selling more than the original versions.

Xillia was a sucess and revived the series from the problem it was in. The tales studio realised that their fan base is on the playstation 3 and sent them a clear message.

Now add those events to the clear statements that Hideo Baba has given us, and its easy to understand that they team will not take the risks that almost sent them packing at the beggining of this gen. They will stick to the PS3 for now and make as much money as possible. They wont move to the PS4 until the console has seen significant sales.
