Forums - Nintendo - Tales of Gracia sales expectations

stof on 01 April 2009

When is it coming out? The largest factor for it's sales will be it's release date in regards to other Wii RPG's.

Much like the 360, the Wii's appeal to the RPG demographic is going to be a slow climb as major titles are released.

Gracia, MH3, Crystal chronicles, Dragon Quest and that samauri game I forget about are going to be big demographic movers, but it'll be like a stair case sometimes. If Gracia is the first of the batch, it might not be too pretty.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

If Team Destiny is working on it (which they should be as they're the only free console team) then expect it to sell tons in Japan. IIRC the worse selling Team Destiny game in Japan is still over 600k.

IDK how much it will sell in total, but it will outsell DotNW easily. I hope it hits 1 mil or at least near it.

It's a mothership title so should sell well above Symphonia 2. There also are some JRPGs on Wii before this to build up some userbase.

Japan: 400k
US: 300k
Others: 250k

Total 950k

I won't make any sales predictions before I even know if it will be released in the west.

I don't know 750k I suppose. The biggest road block to the Tales franchise selling a consistent 1 million plus worldwide is Namco. They don't advertise Tales titles in North America which hurts sales. In Europe, they don't publish the games themselves and the titles usually come out well after the games release in other territories.

Given how well the series sells in Japan, there is no excuse for it not to hit a 1 million. However, franchise gets no support from Namco outside of Japan. Maybe the light bulb goes off over at Namco and they's actually give the game heavy ad support in North America and a timely localization in Europe....I wouldn't hold my breath though.

I hope it can do a million, but i think something around 700k will be fine, i hope we can see some solid sales in Japan.

I predict 700k LT, I hope the game goes higher.

That was made by some ToDR and some Symphonia members. I'd like to see how a main Team Destiny game will do.

Soriku I doubt most people know what team makes the game. So why would that matter in the sales? I think Team Destiny's games sell well because they are 2D, not that they are made by team destiny. The reason why Tales of Hearts didn't sell well being 2D is because Handhelds are known to hold the spinoff series for fan service, while consoles hold the mothership titles.
