Being a nice niche game on a non-niche genre? Then I guess that the sales build up after the buyers tell their friends how awesome this game is and etc...

Whatever, I don't think that Tales of is a really niche franchise. XD

Tales isn't as niche as Soriku says it is. Tales may not reach FF-level sales numbers but calling Tales niche is like calling Star Ocean niche. Both Tales and SO aren't as niche as some might think. Both ToS and SO3 sold a million copies WW LTD

Well, it's not mainstream either =/ It's kinda in the middle of niche and mainstream. SO sells more than Tales of.

That's because every Tales game other Symphonia wasn't advertised on its American release.  Star Ocean 3 sold well in America because it got decent marketing unlike Tales(other than Symphonia anyway)
