I'm with you Shadowblind. This awesome game should have at least sold twice as much.

I'll buy the argument that it was hard to find at first but I've seen this game everywhere now.

I'm hoping for a Euro release date to help boost sales.

I know but theres little bit of hope, again Eternal Sonata sold 200k, if this manages that, plus the 170k from Japan and another 50k minimum from EU, it wont have sold too bad

But yeah, MS have proven you can sell JRPGs on the 360 with both IU and TLR doing well and LO nearing a million

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)

@scottsdone

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.

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

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=America&game1=Tales+of+Vesperia+-+X360®2=America&game2=Eternal+Sonata+-+X360®3=All&game3=&weeks=100

Both seem to be on track, only i think that ToV will sell for longer

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. I doubt you'd see a casual gamer post in gaming forums, thus, when you hear ''it is the best JRPG this generation'' here, it doesn't necessarily reflect the sales, because I'm sure 80% of the Xbox 360 owners here already bought the game (and we're 31,000+ users total, not all of them own a 360).

Vesperia's sales will either meet or pass ToW's within the year. And just because it isn't listed on VGchartz doesn't mean there isn't data for the other American titles. Vesperia has surpassed every Tales game in the US except Symphonia and World.

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.

Um, cowboy maybe its because its really hard to find a copy here, most people say its hard to find a copy there, and that its basically never been seen in a Wal-Mart or Target yet, and yet still got 60K sales.

Well one good thing is that Namco only want 500k sold for the game. At this rate in Japan it will get 200k, and from the US numbers itll get to around 200-300k lifetime. Then offcourse there is EU

I already said it in my post, maybe you're illiterate. There are stories all over of major retailers like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. Not getting any copies of the game. And many Gamestops and Gamecrazy's only receiving 2-3 copies. Also considering Abyss never even made it to 100K lifetime in the states on a console with that large of a userbase, do really think that they shipped out that many copies? What would have been good for you? 100K? I doubt they sent out anywhere near that many.

Namco severely undershiped the game. I've heard from so many people who couldn't get their hands ona copy because the only stores carrying it in their area was a gamecrazy, or gamestop and they only got 2-3 copies. Also I know Amazon screwed over a lot of people who made preorders with the game. I think the game will show some legs, but Namco has no right to whine about numbers with this disgraceful showing of advertising and shipping.

I have mine set to use all TP, keep distance, only use magic, and focus on healing, as well as turning off all other spells. She'll still rush in and start attacking while everyone is dying, throwing out a first aid to someone when they entire party is under 25% instead of casting nurse.

She'll use nurse when 3 people are at max health and the other is only down 300. She'll start casting right next to the enemy, and when she inevitably gets interrupted instead of moving back she'll try again right on the spot

and she just sits there staring out into space not casting recover(or doing much of anything) while the entire rest of the party is paralyzed.

I dont know, maybe itll outsell Symphonia, to this day its a mystery to how it did so well.

Namco are predicting 500k, but i dont know if thats 2/3 or 3/3 regions so yeah they arent expecting that much but at least its a realistic number that can be reached meaning theyll most likely at least make a small profit.

The game's situation in Japan is a weird one. The hype train is still around hence the low drop-off from 18-8k, as we all know, games dissapear within their third or forth week, but that hasnt been the case meaning there was indeed a shortage. But by the time MS restock will the hype still be around? I was really hoping the game would push more 360s as what BD did, that was enough to make MSs effort this gen an overwhelming success compared to last

Lets hope it does well in NA, im predicting around 200-300k, and EU, if it ever sees release around 100k.

I agree with Final, ToS2 was on the Wii, thats roughly 9 times the userbase, but unfortunately it had NO legs, fortunately it did however follow the trend of doubling its first week sales lifetime and is still selling at a steady pace. Who knows, it may go on to sell around 170k, but the hardware is important too. I think itll push 100k 360s max.

Many possible sales issues:

1) tHE RELEASE DATE IS VERY BAD. Ahem, caps lock; the release date is sandwiched between Too Human(hugely anticipated RPG) and Infinite Undiscovery(another moderately anticipated RPG). The date could be either 19th or 26th, both bad times, since hardcore RPG fans probably will have to choose between these three RPGs because of monetary issues.

2) The difficulty has been "upped" significantly because Namco thinks the 360 crowd is insanely hardcore. The thing is, most people, including the people on IGN can't even BEAT the demo. That is a very bad sign.

3) It will more then likely have crummy box art that has the insecure people saying "oh that ame looks to gay". This was the case with eternal sonata, another similarly styled RPG.

I'm a huge Tales fan, and want this game to do very well. Unfortuneatly, things are looking very bad for it right now...

P.S. The demo is tough, but it just shows people need to use strategy. When they do its rather easy. The game looks fantastic though.
