Thank you for using the PS3 ports only instead of say the Vita remakes or the PS3 remake collection, it totally shows how unbiased you are being.

Oh and I had to leave this in for the lols, comparing NIS to Bamco. Not only that but you just showed that roughly 20+% of the NIS fans (who now apparently represent all of the anime-inspired turn-based JRPG fans) have moved to PS4 =P

I was talking about it being a yearly franchise on the PS3. Why would I include the Vita remakes sales in that?

Symphonia - yeah, fair enough. That's the game that supports your comment. Seems like an exception rather than a rule, though.

Also, which NIS game did I list? If you have a better example to show that the Tales fanbase have moved across, go ahead and tell me :P

I'm not ragging on you here by the way, I'm enjoying the discussion! You don't have to start calling me biased and all sorts.

the :P makes me think you knew what I meant (stupid fucking western publishers) Omega Quintet by Compile Heart -_-
Just so used to NISA publishing everything from IF, CH and NIS.

And if we are talking just PS3 games then we are back to not being yearly, as Xillia 2 was 2012 and Zestiria 2015 with only the poor selling Symphonia Chronicles collection between in 2013.

God Eater 2 is very good, Digimon and SAO are decent.
Just Bloodborne is meh. :(

Bloodborne doing similar numbers than DSII is pretty good. And PS4 ratio is higher than PS3, so it's even better.

Tales of biggest issue is its on PS3 when the market is split between PS3 and PS4. It needs both to sell like a Tales game should.

Is it? What about the games that are available on PS4 so far suggests that the audience has moved over?

If anything, I'd say the audience PS4 has at the moment is mainly comprised of western game fans and older gamers (more likely to buy something like Yakuza). There's nothing else on there to tempt Tales fans across.

I have no doubt that the game will come to PS4 eventually and sell more that way, but right now I wouldn't say the userbase is split. I'd say it's still on PS3, but they're probably just getting a little tired of yearly Tales.

We've seen a sharp drop in Atelier sales as well, also a yearly JRPG on PS3.

I think has more to do with hardcore gamers. That's who Tales of is aimed at. They are more likely to buy the new console. While not all fans have gotten the PS4, it should be an assumption that a respectable portion of Tales fans are Playstation fans.

GE2 - 214pt (+3)

GE2:RB - 184pt (+9)

Nice chart. It clearly illustrates how rapid God Eater 2 Rage Burst is bursting. Continuing at this point, it may just overtake the original. At first, it seemed all but certain that Rage Burst would flop.
