It must be a good game. Wii owners don't seem to like those. /troll

Well the PS3 version probably runs more smoothly. PS3 also has an established RPG base, largely thanks to Final Fantasy XIII. What big RPG's are on the Wii in Japan?

It's like Call of Duty, sells much better on the 360/PS3 then the Wii despite the install base. PS3 has more hardcore RPG fans in Japan, and PS3/360 have more shooter fans in Americas and EMEAA. Simple.

I hope "The Last Story" sells well on the Wii next month, as I have respect for Mistwalkers.

Kind of ironic that the thread i thought would be realy short ended up being my longest thread :P But anyways thanx to everyone to tried to explain it to me :D

The fact that Graces Wii didn't do as well as Symphonia 2 to me suggests that it isn't entirely about the Wii's userbase.  The fact the game was a buggy as hell didn't exactly help sales, same with the fact it launched so close to FFXIII.

This would be common sense.  Graces had multiple things working against it, and even if it's release had been perfect, it still wouldn't have sold as well as Graces f (though it would certainly have sold better than it did, which was worse than the low budget, unhyped Symphonia KOR).  The Tales audience (though not necessarily the JRPG audience) just prefers the PlayStations (PSP/PS3) to the Nintendo systems (DS/Wii) or Xbox (360).  And really, I'd say it's always been this way... Tales never really took off until PS1, and the GB/GC installments were also modest sellers by series standards.

The real test will be to see how much of that audience today repeat buys.  If Xillia only does about as well as Vesperia/Graces PS3, and can't crack 500k, then that tells us Vespersia 360/Graces Wii were likely bought by much the same people as the later enhanced PS3 versions, and Namco might've been better served hitting that same consistent base twice on two platforms instead.

Wii version is buggy, PS3 version is not. Enough?

Apparently not.  Seems people are still debating the differences in the series console preferences rather than grasp the fact they practically recalled the game because of the series flaws.  Graces F was released as a quick way to fix those problems and get a PS3 title out there.

no, that's not enough, the PS3 game came out a year later, i guess you forgot that part.

It was developed in under 10 months... that seems like a pretty quick turnaround honestly.  It's not like Vesperia, which had a planned PS3 port before the 360 version even hit shelves.

Then again, I doubt Namco could've gotten retail to take a single shipment of fixed Graces on Wii after how badly it did (and how badly they'd handled it).  Kinda funny Symphonia KOR got a Minna no Susume Selection reprint, while Graces hasn't (and probably won't, with Graces f on shelves).

So? I have seen a tons of times how a game gets higher sales thanks to some extras. Do you know a better extra than a full debugging game?

THAT is enough to make Tales of Graces F on PS3 surpass Tales of Graces on Wii. Or are you telling me the japanese are so dumb that they don't started to warn everyone that the game was so buggy from the first time? Is one week sales, not just one day.
