Its ironic how you use a "2" instead of "to".

On Topic:

It is puzzling, perhaps the Tales fan base is on PS3 in Japan.

The same reason why the PS3 version of Black Ops destroyed the Wii version in America despite the Wii having a bigger lead over PS3 than in Japan.

The core FPS and JRPG audiences simply don't have Wiis.


Thats a fair enough point but there cant be half as many jrpg fans in japan on the wii the as ps3!

Leave Chibi-chan alone!

On the side note Tales of Graces looks amazing gameplay wise probably the best I've seen from the Tales series.

Can't attract the audience without the games.  ;)

Of course Graces Wii had some pretty big problems that extended beyond simply audience (it was unfinishably buggy, it launched in the wake of FFXIII)... I mean really, if it was just down to audience alone then there's no good reason for the game to have sold worse than the cheapo Symphonia spinoff did just a year earlier on the exact same system.  Honestly, I think had Graces been released at a different time (with no direct FFXIII competition) and without enough bugs to warrant mailed replacement discs (which killed it's legs), the game probably would've done 300k.  While that's still less than it's going to do on PS3, it'd be well more than it did sell with those issues.

Audience concerns (which *are* there) also are probably more specialized than just "JRPG audience", Tales games also sell better on DS than PSP, yet you never find anyone claiming a general JRPG audience problem there.  The "Tales audience" is on PlayStation certainly (and always has been imo), but that doesn't mean Nintendo (or Wii) doesn't have good representation with the general JRPG audience.

The JRPG audience is on the PS3.

I'd  love to get a list of  games released on both sytems in Japan and their sales numbers.

 

And I keep hearing how tales went against FFXIII, didn't Tales PS3 go against MH3 psp which is much bigger?
