Game will flop entirely on PS3. The console is pretty much dead. So, putting it on PS4 will give the game at chance to not fail like most Tales games in the West.

 

Quite excited they're listening to their fans about audio. I almost didn't finish Xillia.

You didnt read what i said. This game i aimed to the japanese market, not the western. In Japan PS3 was the best bet for sales and it was. If the game came out on the PS4 it would've sold about 100k in Japan. The installed base is only increasing now.

On the west, even if the game came to the PS4, i dont think it would substancially sell more. Its still a niche title. As i said, i would be more concerned if they missed their august window and went against the christmas juggernauts. That is what i am worried about.

And as i also said, if they are going to make something for the PS4, it would be better for us and for them if it was something that would add content and detail to the game and not just a straight port of a PS3 game.

Zestiria didn't sell very well in Japan either. Declining interest in last gen is a contributor to that I believe.

 

Doesn't help that there was a ton of controversy behind some of the DLC too.
