Forums - Sales - How much Tales of Vesperia will sell in Japan?

ClaudeLv250 on 27 July 2008

People actually expect this to sell worse than Lost Odyssey?

That would be a huge bomb...

Yes, less than 100K would be considered a bomb since Tales is very popular in Japan

The Tales series is quite prominent in Japan. I'm thinking it will do better then any RPGs before. If any game will move hardware over there, its gonna be this game.

That said, I'd say 80k-150k. Really this is a tough call.

No way. This won't come close to Blue Dragon.

The will have 85k first week. Hardware will get to 11k. Lifetime is 150k.

RPGs don't have legs anywhere, and 360 games don't have legs either.

 @ Riachu

But Tales isn't that popular. The last one to pass 500k was Tales of the Abyss. None in the series have passed a million in Japan.

Tales doesn't have the sales numbers of Final Fantasy but among hardcore JRPG fans, the series is very popular.  But a Tales game never passing the a million mark in Japan kinda suprised me since I thought Japan loved JRPGs.

@ Riachu

And my point was that the hardcore JRPG fanbase is itty bitty.

And to add, the series in a huge decline in sales. The top 2 selling games were on the PS1.

Hmmz this is because there are so many JRPG's?






Undying on 28 July 2008

I think its funny that there are all these JRPGS on the 360 yet the Japanese populous' stubbornness and Xenophobia keeps them from playing their most loved genre of games.
