Forums - Sony - PS3 gets exclusive Tales title! Three new Tales games revealed

BMaker11 said:

When they make a game like this "exclusive" to the 360, then port to PS3...that's understandable. Just look at what even a year old port of ToV sold on PS3 compared to 360 version.

This however...doesn't make sense. Now, I'm no expert on Japanese culture, but they seem to buy anything that's Japanese, no matter the platform (we have all our debate over how the Wii isn't 'hardcore' but MH3 sold a million in Japan alone, for example). In the 360 case...basically no one has a 360, so even though they "buy the product no matter the platform", it doesn't matter as much if not that many own the platform.

The Wii? Everyone and their momma has a Wii there, and Tales of Graces STILL only sold 220K there. Substantial number (not trying to ridicule it's performance with 'only'), but what makes them think better sales will be achieved with a PS3 version?

Easier port for some quick buck? The visuals upgraded to HD and some additional material and bam

Great news for those who can understand Japanese...

TOGf will never make it over, RM2 didn't leave japan, so 3 won't either, and the new game has a chance to be localized only if it's fully 3D and developed by Team Symphonia.

I seriously recommend that nobody here get their hopes up. Namco have been screwing over Western gamers out of Tales games long before this generation of consoles, and with their American branch seemingly in financial trouble, I wouldn't be surprised if they only focus on localizing their moneymakers from this point on.



Looking at Namco policy of translating games makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

Hell i was even going to import vesperia from usa if they brought ps3 version there.

I said Tales of Graces would go to PS3... Ages ago. I love being right Will be funny if the PS3 version outsells the Wii version.

And nice to see PS3 getting its own, instead of just having the leftovers.


Hopefully the PS3 Version is not such a bugfest like the Wii version. Namco had to swap the Wii Graces because of a lot of bugs. This is one reason for the mediocre sales.

I think Namco will release Tales of Graces for the Wii in West. On the same day The Last Story will be released, because Namco hates profit and released Graces in Japan simultaneous with FF13.


i was dieing when i got to the part about them releasing tales the same day the last story release's
