Vesperia Sales

[Dopple]

I did a search but didn't want to revive a really old topic.  And the Tales Forums are down right now, as usual...  In any case, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find accurate numbers of Vesperia's sales.  I was on Vgchartz but several games had obvious errors so I don't know how trustworthy it is.

But anyway, I was on Amazon a few minutes ago and look what I saw in the sidebar...

Go Vesperia, go!

According to Vgchartz, Star Ocean 4 (which is considered by most people to be terrible) significantly outsold Vesperia (which is considered by most people to be awesome).  What's up with that, is it the magic of the Square-Enix logo again?

ToV was for sale for $15 there yesterday. Looks like that pushed quite some stock.

The last reliable numbers we got were from January 2009's NPD, where it had tracked a lifetime sales of 107,000.

VGC is pretty much made up BS, so everything they post should be taken with a massive grain of salt.

Yikes, that number's lower than what I was expecting to see.  Too bad...

I'm still pretty sure Star Ocean 4 significantly outsold Vesperia, from what I saw through Googling.  It seems like a lot of people aren't willing to give Vesperia a chance (or some people still don't know about it).  My friends included.

Speaking of VGchartz, man is the new layout terrible. I had already stopped going because of the unreliable data, but if I hadn't then the redesign would have sent me running instead.

Anyways, it looks like the rumors of Vesperia's discontinuation were greatly exagerrated. One year later and Amazon's still pushing new copies. I'm guessing Namco decided to bail on traditional retail outlets and focus on online sales. They would be wise to do this for future releases, like Graces.

That's if we even get Tales of Graces, and I'm doubting that even more.

If they won't even give us Tales of Vesperia, which they've already localized once anyway and all they have to do is translate the new stuff, then I doubt they are going to do an entire game like Graces from scratch.

That and Graces is on the Wii, and TOS2 on the Wii didn't sell very well (Gee, I wonder why >_>).

I wouldn't get my hopes up on it.

It sold very well in Japan (not as much as a mothership Tales in a platform with actual userbase in Japan, but hey...) and nice in US, considering it sold as much as Vesperia did and it was a low budget game with recycled assets, plus the location process costed a lot less with ToSDotNW, it has to sell less to turn a profit for starters.

I'm sure Namco regards it as a success. Shame that doesn't change how half assed the game really was.
