The fact that Tales of Graces on Wii launched just one week before FFXIII surely hurt its sales, I predict the same here

No it didn't hurts Tales of Graces sales.

Tales of Graces released a week before Final Fantasy XIII... On a console more than double the userbase, and in the holiday season. Final Fantasy XIII is not the reason why Tales of Graces underperformed on Wii.


Tales of Graces was the reason FFXIII underperformed.

Okay. Just as long as we can agree Halo Reach wont sell 20 Million units because of Killzone 2.

Well, as for Graces on the Wii being crappy and buggy... IMO it's one of the best tales games, but buggy it was. However, the bugs weren't well known for a while since they affected mainly the second and further playthroughs, so it's very unlikely they affected first week, and that was already somewhat weak.

Personally I won't be buying Graces F though, I've had enough of Scamco in that aspect. Neither will I be buying any further non-PS3 home console "exclusives" of theirs this gen.

The bugs in Tales of Grace is what caused it to under perform. If Namco would not have done a rush job of developing the game, it probably would have sold better.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

Edit 2: Btw this game is expensive as hell. Most expensive Tales game in a good while. lol yen.


Lol.  When you don't plan on releasing the game outside of Japan, they have to make their money some how.  I think both Wii and 360 versions would do decently in the Western market.  Better than Vesperia 360 anyway.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

If you look at the COMG listing this game is going up like 5 points a day its still has 65 days left until release  so ill be generous and say this game has 300 more point the 90 it currently has...will be one of the better openings for a tales game.

Sinobi and the usual JP retail blogs said otherwise.  They pretty much blamed FFXIII directly.
