So all things considered Graces didn't do that great, and Vesperia PS3, despite being a port, trashed all the others. So this is, for once, a very smart move on Namco Bandai's part.
Your post just proves one point, tales fans are not tied to a specific console, i bet that ~200000 people who actually bought graces, TOV 360 and the main fraction of the PS3 version are the same people. So the fan base are loyal to the games rather than the consoles. The rest of the 350000 ps3 numbers, are just casual gamers who bought the game by chance and through futher marketing push. Beside i reckon more people have played graces than TOV ps3, the Wii is such an unsecure system and still open to piracy, why else is there a fan translation project going on?
