I can't seem to find update numbers for TOGF or TOV to see that it out sold it but 3 times .
Mind showing them to me either way as you said they need to make the games thinking about WW release or close to each other .

Last numbers I saw were something like that (source is NPD)

Tales of Destiny - 68,647
Tales of Destiny 2 (Eternia) - 57,896
Tales of Symphonia - 470,253
Tales of Legendia - 83,343
Tales of Phantasia - 88,235
Tales of the Abyss - 72,192
Tales of the World - 39,809
Tales of Vesperia - 144,354
Tales of Vesperia LE - 6944
Tales of Symphonia 2 - 136,695

Apparently Graces F would be around ~70k

 

[SmokyDave]

Vita 40k, SS 86k.

Not long now!

 

[Oemenia]

At this stage in the systems life, how possible is it that Soul Sacrifice will have strong legs?

NPD numbers were 64k for Graces F and 144k for Vesperia. Also 136k for Dawn.

 

[Lexxism]

Vita 42k
SS 83k

 

[twentytwo22]

I think SS broke 100k first week, but that includes digital. I wouldn't be surprised if physical is in the 75-90k range.

 

[darkwing]

why are people expecting Soul Sacrifice to be outsold by Booby Warriors

 

[Akainu]

vita - 20000000

SS - 1192992

 

[Suirrad]

Last minute predictions:

SS: 95K
PS VITA: 48K

Spoiler

of course I'm hoping it does more

Edit: I forgot about the double pack/bundles.

 

[Tratorn]

Because that isn't a new (Sony) IP and has afaik an actual anime-series to support it.


And this:

Because boobs.

 

[darkwing]

Because boobs.

[Taker666]

SS 165k
Vita 50k

(Basing the SS numbers on the fact that Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus had 80 reviews at Amazon Japan while SS already has 129 reviews)

I just double checked, and I was off, it's closer to doubled (but still over that). The NPD numbers aren't public but can be found without too much trouble googling.

I just feel like a lot of opportunity was wasted for Tales following Symphonia's breakout western success, and part of that was due to platform selection. I think Abyss (PS2/GC), Vesperia (360/PS3) and Graces (Wii/PS3/360) all would've benefitted overseas by being mutli from day one. Same for Symphonia really too, a PS2 version actually might've helped build a sustainable base for these games on that console.

This is what I got for US:

ToS (GC) - 458K
ToV (360) - 107k
ToG (PS3) - 70K

EDIT:
beaten and with more updated data.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

3 minutes, get hype.

Graces Wii should've launched aside Graces f on PS3 in NA with all bugs fixed and maybe some of the smaller extras the PS3 got (maybe weapons, bonuses, and such, not the entire other story arc).

Then we could've had a real look at a level-headed comparison I believe.

ToS (GC) - 458K
ToV (360) - 107k
ToG (PS3) - 70K

That was Vesperia after 5 months, Jan 09. The numbers posted before, were for last year, May 12.

I don't remember Graces f around 70k. I remember the one around 60k, which was 2 months after launch.

I think these are way more likely to appeal to the "casual Final Fantasy JRPG fan" than this:

Just a theory, I'd like to hear some other opinions on this, too.

This is different from the boxart that they actually went with for the US release, unless there was a reversible cover that I don't know about (I would say an improvement over what we did get, even with it being the same artist).

Still, the game being a (very) late up-port of a Wii title that they still saw to charging full price for certainly didn't help, either.

 

[duckroll]

113k for Miku, 105k for Sosac, 48k for ToH-R, 61k for Vita.

 

[Spiegel]

Soul Sacrifice 92k + 22k

113k for Miku, 105k for Sosac, 48k for ToH-R, 61k for Vita.

Superb Vita number!

 

[Opus Angelorum]

If that includes bundles, oh boy.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Famitsu:

SS- 106K

Impressive. (Well, for Vita)

Wii U perilously close to sub-9K.

 

[Foshy]

SS: 105'863
Vita: 61'152

[Fisico]

Nice Vita numbers

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

[DaBoss]

Vita increases/stays steady.

 

[gembel]

can you count double pack as 2 copies each? so 44k for double pack?

 

[liger05]

60k including bundles. Its ok, not great at all.

 

[Majmun]

Dragonsworne will be shocked

 

[metalslimer]

Great numbers (for Vita) for everything besides the Tales failure

 

[Striek]

Oh hey the Vita finally outsold the 3DS. Didn't think that was ever going to happen.

 

[duckroll]

Looks like Famitsu and MC numbers are pretty different again this week.

 

[frankie_baby]

If that includes bundles, oh boy.

It does

 

[cw_sasuke]

SS- 106K
Vita - 60K

Impressive. (Well, for Vita)

notsureifserious.gif

Lets see what kind of legs SS will have, i guess its alright for a new Sony IP - but still somehow expected more.

 

[Foshy]

Holy shit Vita is actually higher than 3DS this week

 

[Magicpaint]

Wow, great Vita numbers!

 

[BadWolf]

Vita hardware numbers holding on is very impressive.

SS off to a great start.

 

[Mr Swine]

I was spot on about vita sales, SS not so much and that is a big disappointment

 

[schuelma]

I think it's a good hardware number.

 

[NotLiquid]

So the Vita is a steady/minor drop? Kind of expected an increase.

 

[darkwing]

oh boy if it counted the double packs as 2 copies sold

 

[darkside31337]

Vita > 3DS

ITS OVER.

(lol)

 

[Laguna]

These sales are inline with my prediction. It failed.

 

[RurouniZel]

Boobs > Souls confirmed. ;P

 

[the androgyne]

Vita above 3DS. Praise be!

 

[Maedhros]

113k for Miku, 105k for Sosac, 48k for ToH-R, 61k for Vita.

Fuuuuu, just a bit behind my prediction.

 

[shinra-bansho]

notsureifserious.gif

Well, for Vita.

 

[Delio]

I kinda expected a slight increase as well. But I guess holding on is better than nothing.

What....
