Game breaking bug does not excuse the poor first week (2 days iirc) sales. Some of you just jump on a bandwagon without even thinking for yourself.
No, I'm talking total sales. Xillia sold >300k outside of Japan, again the highest since Symphonia.
US + EMEA
To put it into perspective Xillia did >230k in 2 months.

Its nothing new: Tales fanbase being mainly on Playstation, especially in Japan.
You're talking just about Japan here(which is highly unusual for you). In the west Symphonia 2 and Abyss 3D(and Vesperia for that matter) performed better than the Playstation games up until the recent renewed push.

Tales of Phantasia on GBA did (~120k), Tales of Vesperia did (~270k), Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World did (~230k), Tales of the Abyss 3DS did (~220k), Tales of Graces F did (~190k), Tales of Symphonia Chronicles did (~140k), Tales of Xillia 2 did (~170k by the end of January 2015).
I guess you were mostly refering to the PS2 era Tales (Legendia, Abyss) which weren't even localized outside of America.
All numbers are as of October 2014 except Xillia 2
