Tales of graces was japan only for the wii version, and sales were hindered because the game had to be recalled. If it wasn't for that, it would have sold much more. The ps3 version had a worldwide release. Now let's say tales of graces on wii had also released in the west and got pessimistic sales that made it's global ltd reach 500k. Put those together with the ps3 version and what do we get? 1.4 million, aka more than any exclusive tales of has ever sold. This helps proving that smaller franchises would do better by going multiplatform. if games like persona and tales of struggle to reach 800k per iteration on a single platform and they can get at least 50% more sales just for making it multiplatform, they should do it. |
There is alot of assuming in that. Then you also have to think, if a game is destined to sell 1 million on a proven fanbase, but a multi plat may give it another 300k; For the development cost of adding another console, is that worth it? It may amount to a bigger sales number but profit margin?
