| Materia-Blade said: The sales make it pretty clear indeed, the audiences are about the same. time and time again, the tales of games had similar numbers on Nintendo and PS systems. and for a long time, tales of symphinia was the best selling in the franchise, on 1 quarter of the ps3's installed base. I'll explain it even better. The franchise's best selling entries barely sold above 1 million when released WW. Yet, the ones released on nintendo systems keep getting a consistend 500k+ (if you consider some of them would be released outside japan), wich is pretty much what we see on PS platforms. |
So then you agree that install base doesn't mean much?
I'm going by Media Create here. Are you looking at the VGChartz numbers? I don't really buy those, especially not the western numbers. But for the sake of argument, let's say it's true that the fanbase is roughly evenly split worldwide, with Tales having a stronger appeal to western Nintendo fans than western Playstation fans. The Japanese sales (the only ones for which we have reliable numbers) are not even close, and Tales games are made with Japan in mind first. And we are in a thread about Japanese sales, so...
