I just hope they port Tales of Xillia to Wii U or Xbox at some point.


They won't.

Not much profit looking at there. Better time spent making newer games.

Honestly the only numbers I would trust are the Japan sales, when it comes to making decisions on what console to develop for. It's pretty clear who's buying Tales games.
WII Symphonia2- 230k
360 Vesperia- 204k
PS3 Vesperia- 413k
WII Graces- 225k
PS3 GracesF- 338k
PS3 Xillia- 665k
PS3 Xillia2- 410k

By those numbers tales shold be multiplat games this could increase sales a nice bit. if graces released on the wii and ps3 during launch in the west lst year it would ave sold much better. Same for vesperia on 360 and ps3. Namco should get more people on the tales team and work on multiplatform develoment could do wonders for them.

And Vesperia lagged 110k units sold against Tales of Graces F, which is a Ps3 exclusive. If you mix 360 and Ps3 sales for Vesperia you've got yourself the top Tales of game regarding sales.

Graces f is an HD remake, a re-release and Vesperia was sold in Japan on the PS3 a whole year after the 360 version, another re-release.

Anyway, I'm hugely excited about Tales of Xillia (August 6), I've heard it was one of the best in the series.

I know, I know, okay? xD I've messed up in this thread, just look back at my previous posts. My knowledge in Tales of regarding sales and release dates and the games itself is pretty much low...

Once again, confirming no Wii U Tales and that they're focusing on the PS3 now. I don't think we should expect a Wii U Tales unless Nintendo themselves steps in to get Namco to do it. And even then they'd still port it to PS3 or PS4 just like Symphonia was ported to PS2 (though Japan only), lolz.


I think this kind of deal might have gone down.

We'll get a Tales game on there...IF you put (Lloyd or another char) in Smash. Which Nintendo said no and they said "aight".

So he's basically saying Tales games don't sale consoles, which would make sense, also that it'd be no good reason to make a PS4 or Wii U game yet since their profit margin would be much lower due to the low install base since they are Japan centric.
