Maybe next time they shouldn't delay this forever. I was hyped for it when it was released in the US and now I'm not because it took so long. I very much doubt I'll buy it now.

I don't think Others numbers are going to be very high. I myself cannot find this anywhere, and when i do there are very few copies around. Hell they're not even on the shelves in most stores.

I seriously need to russle up enough spare cash to buy this ASAP, i just know it's going to be one of those games where it'll disappear off the face of the earth. You guys don't want to know the struggle i went through the get my copy of Symphonia...

Although a great game its sales were definetly hurt by remaining Xbox 360 exclusive.

Given the Xbox 360 poor sales in RPGcentric Japan and the large number of RPG fans who bought a PS3 for FF13 (before Xbox360 version annonced) instead of an Xbox360 they should have made ths a multiplatform game.

Damn you Namco. See? You didn't have to stop selling the game, it still would have gotten some sales. Instead, you stop shipments practically weeks after it goes on sale.

Your idiots for taking it off line in the first place.

after about 12+ hours I think this is a really well crafted RPG..

I enjoy nearly all the characters however some of the cut scenes with random imperial knights and guild NPCs i still find a little childish..

plus this is hardly a game that pushes the system to its limits...and the music is just standard rpg fluff...

Still I give this game a 8/10 its a lot more cohesive than other current gen RPGs and could turn out to be one of my favourites this gen.

just say a thing i dont know why many people refer to the critics in "x" magazine they are just point of view and cant be 100% trusted, its prefereble to say "i think" when talking about something in this kind of forums, anyway this game its great i recomend almost all of the tales of series, and yeah the lower numbers of 360 consoles in japan its what made this game sold much less cuz almost all 360 owners are fps gamers and a lot of japan gamers are rpg,plataform,adventure players, but i dont think also thats the only reason, its like the VC for ps3, a bad adv campain its what make this kind of great games go unadverted by most players, they go for the same ALWAYS, fps's,futball games, and some others comercial games like trash games like those of disney(with very few excpetions and those were disney wasnt in full charge of making them), the thing is that they dont trust on these game like they should be they going to make some really good programers and maker teams to go to fps creations or something, anyway i have this game only played it like for 2 hours but it feels great but other games deserve atention also now from me, if you havent played this vesperia yet do it you wont regreat it

From what I've played so far (~8 hours), this game is frekkin amazing. Lacking some polish here and there, but everything that really matters is done well. My 360 was worth it just for this...

Yuri rocks! (erm, the character that is, dunno bout the lesbo stuff...) I definitely have to check out Abyss after this, and can't wait for this team's next game.

I'm also hooked on the OP song, it's pretty catchy...

Would not sell any better on the ps3. The ps3 rpgs aren't selling terribly well if that fanboy didn't notice. Also, once it's released in Europe, it will sell at least 100k more, putting it close to a normal "Tales" sales figure.

And yeah, Dawn of the New World isn't selling all that great, and it has a huge user base to work with.

Also, Valkyria Chronicles isn't doing a fantastic job on the PS3.

"Because it lost a ton of money and sold less than half of its prequel Tales of the Abyss."

@outlawauron

Abyss isn't Vesperia's prequel, or even the previous of Tales game that was made before Vesperia. That was Tales of Destiny R(PS2 Japany Only).

Vesperia didn't sell to well in Japan because most of the Japanese don't like the 360 and it's selection of games in general. Though it did make 360s fly off the shelves and sell out.

Why do people think these sales numbers are disappointing? Its the Tales series, not Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. I know Symphonia sold a lot, but the series is certainly still basically a "niche" series outside of japan, and nearly 150k in sales for such a game looks to me as perfectly fine. 150k+ in Japan looks great as well for the 360, and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft paid for the exclusivity. Also look at the other sales figures for tales games listed here. Assuming they're accurate, only one game has topped a million in sales. I don't think these sales figures are anything to be worried about at all.

So with that said, lets hope it sells AT LEAST 150k, plus the 160k in Japan and hopefully another 100k in EU and Namco will have sold 410k, more than enough to get back their money and make a small profit. Not forgetting, MS will have nicely profitted with the boost they got in Japan

Man this is doing really badly in NA, like really badly, IU shot up from 5k to 11k this week, this sold 50 more copies than it normally did

The game was just released to the wrong crowd, its a shame the 360 hasnt reached a wider demographic yet, really sad. With that said, the 360 is making a big kiddy market with the Arcade and the bundled games, including EU.

Eternal Sonata sold pretty well in NA with 200k, so why on Earth is this not doing as good, and that launched on the same week as Halo 3, it just doesnt make sense.

So yeah, EU release will at least contribute 50k in sales, but i hope Namco market it properly there, ToS sold well in EU just because of the kiddy appeal of the game and the GC (this is what THEY said not me)

Really? And who would you think would make it? Theoretically the only free teams are Team Symphonia (who just finished this) and Team MelFes. Anything new from Team Symphonia most likely won't be seen for a long time, and Team MelFes isn't a normal Tales team, so if they're even working on a game it's probably Sword of Legendia.

@ClaudeLvl250

I think the game was successful, it sold way more copies that Tales of Abyss for PS2, to a demographic not expecting it.

ToS2 didn't outperform Vesperia THAT much, and take into account that the game is 60$ on the 360, and that there are far more Wii's in Japan/US... The tie ratio is truely speaking with 360 owners!

Tales of the Abyss sole only 120K copies in its lifetime to the PS2 install base in America, which is a number of times better then the 360 install base. By all means, it has done fantastic compared to its predecessors.

This was on NeoGaf, they were all commenting that this is indeed the best selling Tales game in NA after Symphonia, Tales selling poorly there is common knowledge

Also, tell me about these so called figures im pulling out of nowhere. VGC was reporting numbers of around the 500s for the last few weeks, then this week they shoot up and the last weeks as well.

ToV vs ES weekly

ES had a much worse start selling half the units, but by this time was selling more than ToV. However, over time it had a few spikes and continued to sell. Again, long as ToV holds steady and picks up a little steam, 200k isnt a far cry

ToV vs ES cumulative

Dont get scared yet, it could pick up a little, again, Eternal Sonata sold 200k in NA, if this can do that, and then manage another 50k in EU, then well have 400k.

If you ask me, a nice small profit not forgetting next-gen assets for Namco. Also, its sold better than every Tales so far except Symphonia.

Easy: people here are dedicated gamers. This genre appeals to these gamers.

This game did not flop. It will sell 500k, which will easily turn a profit. Not every game can sell 1 million units in it's first two weeks.

Also, considering that this game didn't have the hype of Star Wars, Too Human, or some other big name releases lately, it has sold pretty well.

Also, consider the fact that it has an anime, cell shaded, look..which isn't that popular in the US, and you can see why sales in the US are low.

Reality is, it's not about how good the game is in the US, it's about how much hype they can build for the game before it launches. Americans (I know my kind) aren't the brightest shoopers in the world anymore, and will only buy what TV and Magazines tell them to buy now.

The best selling JRPG of this current gen, is also the one that got the most marketing before release (Lost Odyssey). While Lost Odyssey is a great game, it would've only got 500k lifetime also if it wasn't for the marketing budget. That's life, and if japanese developers want to keep their old school, tight lipped, developement cycles, they are still going to suffer in terms of sales in the west.
