| Chris Hu said: I think you need to check the numbers again both Vesperia and Abyss did very good sales wise on the 360 and 3DS: http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Tales+of&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200 Also since Vesperia is also available in digital format on the 360 in the games on demand section you can add at least another 100K to the 360 numbers. |
As you should know from your time on VGC, VGC very often overtracks JRPGs in the West. Game didn't sell as well as VGC says + Namco only cares about Japanese sales. Xillia was the highest selling Tales game since 2002. I don't think people can find fault that they made a mistake in their platform choices.
Abyss did sell well, but Namco doesn't really bother much with handheld after Hearts, Innoence, and Tempest all kinda flopped on the DS. They just get the scraps.
