Man, Winning Eleven passed 100k first week on PSP last year, it won't even make half of that this year.

Nice Modern Warfare 2 sales though.

I don't understand why you people are surprised ToG sales when a bunch of little japanese kids are putting asside their money to buy FF13 ..... this game will probably have better legs than other tales games due to this.

Alright, time for the Tales analysis. Here's a table for all the Tales games I could find data for:

Tales of	Release date	First day	First week	LTD (VGC)
Vesperia (PS3)	9/17/09	147k	217k	334k (still selling)
VS. (PSP)	8/6/09	89k	133k	217k (still selling)
Radiant Mythology 2 (PSP)	1/29/09	135k	213k	330k
Hearts (DS)	12/18/08	121k	140k	251k
Vesperia (X360)	8/7/08	71k	108k	186k
Symphonia: DotNW (Wii)	6/26/08	120k	137k	216k
Innocence (DS)	12/6/07	76k	104k	262k

I bolded the titles that launched in December, and used VGC for LTD (dunno where to look for Famitsu).

I guess you can hope for a pattern like Innocence, though that's probably pushing it. If I had to guess ToG's lifetime now (really not much to go by atm), I'd say 270k. I'm assuming it'll outdo Hearts, since this game launched earlier in the month.

Some older December Tales from VGC data:

Radiant Mythology (PSP, 2006) - 112k FW, 234k LTD
Abyss (PS2, 2005) - 378k FW, 570k LTD
Rebirth (PS2, 2004) - 385k FW, 589k LTD

Anyway, I hope its first week surprises us. If it turns out to be something like 170k, it still has a chance at overtaking Vesperia (PS3).

Thanks for this.

I'd say first week sales of Tales of Graces will be at ~140k, and lifetime sales will be at ~225k. It'll do pretty similar to Dawn of the New World (which is extremely disappointing).

I'm quite disappointed in ToG.
Oh well.

About ToS, it was later ported on PS2, where it sold another 500k.
And for the tenth time, ToS did not sell over 1m (on GC).

edit: ToG didn't sell badly, I just expected more.
