I said that the Xbox 360 is the only console with a demonstrated ability to sell large quantities of JRPG's. Thus far, the numbers show that to be true.

I believe Namco said that in the case of Vesperia the exclusivity had something to do with a delay in receiving PS3 dev kits.

And you're plain wrong. The Wii demonstrated that it can clearly sell more JRPG. The crappy spin-off of Tales of Symphonia sold more than the big main Tales of Vesperia. So far, the numbers show that to be true.

Given Namco's initial expectations of 500k units of ToV, the prospect is not good, like not good at all.

I'm not even sure they can break even with 500k, as with ToS, 300k in Japan alone wasn't enough. And they're far from even 200k in Japan.

Total sales of top five JRPG's on Wii = around 1 million. (thats INCLUDING a Dragon Quest game)

Total sales of top five JRPG's on Xbox 360 - around 2 million (not including ANY established IP)

Maybe adding a few periods would make this POC easier to read.

OT: Old news. So what? Can't gamers just enjoy the fact that few real gamers are left in the cold? Just enjoy both systems.

Doesn't take much to agree.

Just take a casual glance at the sales figures.

@Starcraft

Come on man, u truly don't believe that the 360 will sell more Jrpg's then the PS3, do u?

The PS3 sales of ES will crush the 360's. White Knight Chronicals will be the 1st PS3 big gun Jrpg and it will be huge. Then there is FF13 & FF13v. Also, I think it will be safe to say that FF13 on the PS3 will crush the 360's sales as well.

Time will tell, but, I would wack all my dosh on the PS3, if I could.

In Japan? Wow! Care to detail so we can all see the awesomeness of your post?

Apart from that, I still wonder why the OP wants to live in delusions...

The sales figures tell me that the 360, even with huge blockbuster Jrpg's, has reached it's limit. Average at best.

Now, if the shoes were switched for all the PS360 Jrpgs, do u honestly think that the 360 would have have sold more?

@ookaze [big wind]

U can say that the OP lives in delusion if u like, but this game, or another ToV will more than likely come to the PS3. Fuck, do u need a brain to work out this???
