remember the PS3 version is not a New game build... its the Wii version upscaled and with bonus content so hell im positive that the Wii version was still more Xxpensive to make than the PS3 port just because it was bild from the ground up for Wii

Yea i see what you guys are saying but if this rumor turns out to be true then there are factors that we just didnt know about which caused them to release a wii version with the bonus content instead of the ps3 version.

Well the fact he called Vesperia a shit game and that he has NO source for his article I Am highly doubting it. People on Tales Union and on Scamco's facebook page have been talking about this and they all agree that the validity of that artice is heavily doubtable. I for one wouldn't be happy if they released it on wii since I' m really looking forward to this and I don't have a Wii to play it on D:

on no.. this isnt a PS3 vs Wii thing. I own both so wherever it lands ill be hapopy to pick it up. Just the OP makes no sense in justifying what hes saying.

A Port Will Never be more Xxpensive then the original build no matter how its ported... unless the use build a new engine then wouldnt be a port.

Hell this could possibly be true becuase NB is just a stupid ass comapny run by the old ways..so this kinda wouldnt shock me

but if they are so worried about finance...... then OP is actually counter productive.

Well first I'll say, that I do hope they bring the game over on either platform or even both so that everyone is happy.  I just want to play the game, although I guess for me personally I'd rather it at least be the Wii version.  

As for the reasoning it does seem a little quirky, but I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.  I mean I don't understand why not just release it on both, but maybe there are other factors at play we don't know about.  I mean development costs aren't the only thing people.  Lots more costs involved when releasing a title and obviously there are other factors that may be influencing their decision if it turns out true.  

Oh i never meant it as a wii vs ps3 thing just that there could be factors we may not know about.

So instead of just localizing the PS3 version AS IT IS, they include the PS3 extras in the Wii version and localize this version?

Bandai Namco, the kings of dumb decisions.

This thread needs more of this:

Personally I would think the most plausible reason why it would only be the Wii version, would be if it wasn't Namco Bandai actually doing the localizing it.  Doesn't seem to be a part of this rumor here, but if it was a company like Xseed actually doing the localizing, they would feel most comfortable doing the Wii version as they have done Wii games before.  So that's what I kinda get out of this.  

But there is a possibility of Nintendo involvement.  Given Xenoblade and Last Story will most likely come out in the west next year as well, they may just make it a nice trifecta for release.  

But who knows the complete things behind this if it does turn out to be true.  Could all just be discussing something that is nothing.  I hope not though haha.

Historical precedent.  In the west, Tales always bombed on PS1/PS2, yet sold amazingly on GC and decent (for what it was) on Wii... I don't see much reason to believe that'd spontaneously change for PS3?  Other JRPGs certainly aren't doing better on PS3 in America than they did on PS1/PS2?

I think is because of the art style, the Sony fans prefer realistic graphics while the Nintendo ones really like the cartoonish look
