Holy shit. At first I thought that was bull, but I looked it up. Wii U has over a million units more than the Vita. Who knew? I guess the Vita is the more ngauging one.

Where did you read this? I have a hard time believing it.

Vita has been on the market for 2 years and is on 5m units aprox.

Wiiu has been on the market for 7 or so months and is on 3.4m units approx

So yeah hard to compare tbh

Really weird how you rounded really high on the Vita (has actually been on the market for 1 year 7 months) and low on the Wii U (has been on the market 9 months).

 

[Liberty4all]

Someone on the official account said that? Yeah, hope you like a new job. Incredibly unprofessional.

seriously. I worked as an SM coordinator. That comment is pathetic coming from a company account.

it May be true but you don't talk like that when representing a company. Looks like a response you would see on gamefaqs lol

Where are you seeing this?

 

[KillerTravis]

Seriously guys read the responses, it's like all the salt of the world concentrated on one place.

 

[Kandrick]

Well it clearly is. If Namco Bandai EU had any self respect they would remove the comment and discipline whoever wrote it, since it probably did offend some Vita owners, and thats just bad PR.

Now that's dumb, i have a Vita, and i find it hilarious, and true too.

If you get offended by stuff like this, i'm sorry for you.

Probably vg chartz

you don't post 15 year old comments with a professional SM account.

 

[Tallshortman]

Even if it was an intern who the hell is dumb enough to think it's okay to post that with an official company account?

 

[Wynnebeck]

Seriously guys read the responses, it's like all the salt of the world concentrated on one place.

Well obviously people would be upset. The official account for the European branch made a fanboyish comment about a product already knowing how delicate the situation is. I'd expect it to be worse if the comment were made about Wii U selling like shit.

 

[Sid]

Wait,this is real HAHAHA!

The guy will probably be fired now.

 

[Silky]

Works for Ubisoft and Deep Silver.

 

[Evilisk]

That was a dumb idea. Did this person really think a comment like that was worth losing their job?

 

[darkwing]

That was a dumb idea. Did this person really think this was worth losing their job over?

maybe he is paid by the lols he makes

lol

 

[katkombat]

ironically there is a wii u version coming

Well sorry I dont know the exact figures sheez

 

[Xzeon]

game looks cool, first one on DS and 3DS was p rad.

Vita seems fucking dead at this point, Sony stop with the handhelds.

 

[illmatic22]

Shoulda worded that better. Very unprofessional.

 

[Hattori]

I own a Vita Namco guy! x(

 

[Zee-Row]

I think I'm not going to buy Tales of Xillia just because of Namco's remark.

 

[granabanana]

I think I'm not going to buy Tales of Xillia just because of Namco's remark.

From one employee's remark? Come on now....

 

[eorl]

Classy. This is the same company that's publishing Dragon Ball Z Battle of Z on Vita in Europe physically where as the US branch is going DD only for it. Adventure Time probably wouldn't have sold well on Vita because the primary audience is kids.

Hate to break it to you, but the actual audience for both Adventure Time and Regular Show are 20+ adults. Also that comment is hilarious, though if you are seriously upset by it then you may need to lighten up a bit. The whole "I DON'T KNOW" is clearly taken from the actual title of the game.

 

[Silky]

Man, I forgot Xillia was coming out. I gotta get back into my Tales games. sigh...

 

[Zee-Row]

Why not? He represents Namco right?

 

[dallow_bg]

Why not? He represents Namco right?

Not really.

Namco as a whole has been one of the bigger supporters of the Vita.

 

[granabanana]

Why not? He represents Namco right?

Yeah but he is exactly that. One employee. Or an intern or whatever

 

[phanboy4]

Who has a Vita? According to sales numbers, more people than own a WiiU.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Yeah but he is exactly that. One employee. Or an intern or whatever

Always will be a intern. They will never blame the real staffer.

 

[JaCy]

I personally thought it was just a joke mixed with the subtitle of the game which is "Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW!"

 

[Squire]

 

[darkwing]

Yeah but he is exactly that. One employee. Or an intern or whatever

he is not an intern, he is NamcoBandaiGamesEU, whatever that means lol

 

[aronmayo2]

Actually, the Vita is outselling the Wii-U.

Is *outselling* and has *outsold so far*.

 

[darkside31337]

I think I'm not going to buy Tales of Xillia just because of Namco's remark.

Same here. I will pass on buying Tales of Innocence R just because of that remark.

 

[Takao]

Yes, that's why the two shows air on Cartoon Network and not Adult Swim.

 

[AniHawk]

that's a dumb way to lose your internet access at work.

 

[Zee-Row]

His comment doesn't even make sense anyway considering there is a WiiU version as well.

Wow at the comment coming form the official channel, but yeah saw the name of the game and maybe its just a bad joke with the vita situation and the name of the game, but it can easily be misunderstood

 

[granabanana]

he is not an intern, he is NamcoBandaiGamesEU, whatever that means lol

Which can be handled by any of the social team even an intern

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Hahahaha. I did find it pretty funny.

From outdated information, apparently! The vita data was from June 2012, not 2013 as I originally thought. But I haven't found any other reliable Vita sales data since then. It all comes from a certain banned site. Has Sony or anyone else released official numbers?

Also, the reason why it is coming to the Wii U is simple. It is also being released on the PS3/360/PC, so it is not like they are going to do that much work. The Vita version would probably require the most effort.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Reminds me of the whole SSB tag on Playstation All Battle Royale official Youtube video.

 

[Burai]

Who has a Vita? According to sales numbers, more people than own a WiiU.

And how many of those Vita owners are in Japan where this game won't be sold?

That and when this game was green-lit, the Wii U probably wasn't launched so they had no idea how bad it would be. The Vita had a year's head-start on it's death march.

 

[Zee-Row]

I'm pretty sure WiiU and Vita sales are pretty close in North America as well.

 

[Cbajd5]

The title of the game is Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW!

It's actually kind of clever, but could have been worded less inflammatory while being clever.

 

[Burai]

I'm pretty sure WiiU and Vita sales are pretty close in North America as well.

Yup, but as I said above when I edited, this game would have begun development before the Wii U was even launched, back when nobody knew how bad it would get.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Is that Namco comment real? Holy shit loooool.

 

[lazybones18]

Now that's dumb, i have a Vita, and i find it hilarious, and true too.

If you get offended by stuff like this, i'm sorry for you.

+1

 

[Erv]

Promote this intern.

 

[Soriku]

I think I'm not going to buy Tales of Xillia just because of Namco's remark.

Your loss, not theirs.

 

[vagabondarts]

Yup, but as I said above when I edited, this game would have begun development before the Wii U was even launched, back when nobody knew how bad it would get.

So then it should have been released on Vita too according to your rationalization

 

[StoopKid]

Yup, but as I said above when I edited, this game would have begun development before the Wii U was even launched, back when nobody knew how bad it would get.

The game dosen't even look that good. I wonder how long the development was ?
