Idiots. They're just leaving money on the table

Ok, Nintendo not putting mario on the xbox 360 leaves money on the table...u mad bro?

Tales of Graces F = Tales of Graces. It's the same engine, and sans some extra content, same code, just up-rezzed. It would've taken no work at all to put it on the Wii, and its idiotic in the first place that they waited this long for it to go to another console to even bother localizing it.

They could have doubled their western sales, but instead Bandai-Namco is left with its own bad decisions, and good riddance

No. Tales of Grace F is on Blu-ray. If they bring it to Wii, maybe they would need one more disc and we all know this means more costs. And no one knows if that game would sell well on Wii, a console for casual gamers.

Interesting to note, that Tales games in the west haven't generally haven't faired well on a sony console, because of over saturation. Well on Nintendo they have done better, because of lack of JRPGs. I could be wrong, but I believe Vesperia even outsold Abyss (among others) in the West.   

I am using a post from Neogaf. 

Which is using NPD numbers.

Do we have actual ISOs of F to back this up? And i'd doubt F will sell more than 200,000 in the West on PS3, they could bring that total up to at least 300 with Wii

Sometimes exclusives make sense... this does not becaues they already made the whole (original) wii game in japan.

Even if the extra content fills up past the disk... they could just add an extra disc. like they did for years.

^^^ extra disc cost more money, which Namco is probably not willing to spend on a niche title anyway, they should have just kept translated the original one on Wii and released that. But whatcha gonna do??? Thats why i dont limit myself to one console, for crap just like this. It sucks but complaining about it wont change it.  hell maybe it will

I think it has less to do with the disk thing and more to do with where the core market is. Demon's Souls (which Namco localised in Europe) became a cult classic and arguabily sold very well for a very niche title. and sold a lot more than Vesperia sold on the 360.

their probabily hoping to capitalise on the exclusive thing...

but i agree with their decision, PS3 users will support this game. however i'm concerned at the lack of mention of Europe. thats not too much of a problem if i import - but we should be way past that in Europe now, since we are the largest userbase of PS3 users.

well I don't either. Nor do I care about this (other than talking about it cause I'm bored) because I don't like the tales series. I was just stating that this is a bit weird.

It's seems that Namco took the info down quite shortly after posting.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
