ToG fell on a sunday which was a one day sale but do anyone know how many days ToV had before the end of its week sales?

Graces came out on 12/10, week ending 12/13.  Vesperia came out 9/17 week ending 9/20.  Same time.

Yes, if i were Namco I'd be looking to release the next one as a PS3/Wii multiplat, maybe sell 300k on PS3 and 175k on Wii or something like that to get close to 500k total.

Agreed, i think more companies should do this or go Wii/PSP with PS3/360.

Anyways i was one of those who predicted about 250k FW so i was really off. I expected more from this and SW3. Oh well at least NSMB was above expectations

So uh

So

....How about that NSMBWii drop-off? Percentage wise it's considerably lower than the original NSMB! That is scary.

ToG won't reach 300K, it is a pipe dream.

Unless it had amazing legs, which it won't, it will never happen.

I guess I am vindicated, despite all the attacks against me about extrapolating Tales of Graces' first day numbers.

Tales of Graces will do below 250k, and most likely closer to 200k. It is my opinion that number isn't a bomb, but definitely on the poor side of things. Namco cannot be happy about launching a mainline Tales game on the Wii, and having it appear to wind up selling worse than its first outing via a spinoff.

In other news, the NSMB:Wii numbers are fantastic, so is Wii hardware. Call of Duty numbers are incredible as well - it outsold the LTD on both consoles in a week, easily. It could even hit 250-300k LTD which is amazing for a FPS. Overall, everything is very impressive except for Tales of Graces.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

First Monster Hunter, then Final Fantasy, now Tales of. I doubt that Wii will see a lot of japanese 3rd party support next year.

Although Nintendo probably doesnt care about that.


Wait, MH3 sold bad? Someone is uninformed.


What does "sold bad" means? Selling 140k copies 1st week isnt bad either, yet it's bad for a Tales of game on a 9 million userbase. Just like selling less than 1 million is bad for Monster Hunter.

 

I don't get the user base argument either. So if FFXIII end up selling under 2 mil in Japan, would you consider it"sold bad"?

 

I would honestly call that a minor disappointment for the FF franchise

Exactly!!

 

in fact the next FF should be multiplat like this too

Why should the Wii get preference on a Tales multiplat? It'd probably make more sense on a PS3/X360 Tales multiplat, as you could use the same resources, as well as the fact that Vesperia on 360 has sold similarly to what both Wii Tales games will likely end up at.

I'm primarly stating this due to dev resources, rather than anything else. A true multi-plat would be very interesting, and if the development costs weren't too high, you could probably get a Tales game back up to >500k.
