Hm, why would they release a ToV spin-off on the Wii???

Yeah, I don't see much point in a Wii spinoff.  Even a 3rd Vesperia port would likely sell better and cost less.

I don't believe this just because I can't figure out how Namco could possibly try to sell this game a third time so soon. Then again, Dawn of the New World outsold Vesperia in Japan despite being the red headed spinoff so it could just be all about the monies.

A "spinoff" doesn't really make sense to me in this case because if you compare it to DotNW then it will clearly depend on a lot of reused assets. If Namco is putting all the effort into porting that stuff to Wii then they might as well push the famed original instead of saying "here's a spinoff!" And keep in mind that such a game would come after Graces which is already raising the bar for Tales.

They'd be better off making it Vesperia 2.

Sounds like Namco to me.

Well, the PS3 version outsold the Symphonia 2 by a wide margin and Vesperia on PS3 looks like it'll pass 400k. Not too bad I think.

so there will be 2 versions of TOV out & possibly a wii spin off (after what soriku posted from silonera) before a full Final Fantasy game is out this generation?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

It's 320k-ish now and has dropped under 5k weekly, 350k seems more probable and that's even a bit of a push.  Might crawl to 400k eventually, but only with a budget reprint.

Graces will be the real test on Wii though.  Full budget, main team, and even a helping hand from Nintendo with the bundle.  If Graces doesn't sell well, it's over for Wii Tales imo.

Ultra Multi-platform confirmed.



It's just that simple.

2 Versions of TOV, 1 Symphonia spin-off and Tales of Graces. So 2 mainline-games, one port, and one spinoff.

And that's not counting the DS-games. All before FF13.

Pretty crazy.
