The PS3 version of Patty RPG Tales of Vesperia has sold more copies in its first week than the beta edition sold since release, also handily beating the top selling Japanese Xbox 360 title to date, Star Ocean 4, itself shaping up to be beta material.
Famitsu estimates the game to have sold 228,000 copies in its first week (with 150,000 on its first day), as opposed to the 101,000 copies the beta sold in its first week.
Such performance for a re-released port is practically unheard of (though if we unkindly consider this the real release, we might marvel at a beta selling 195,000 copies), although compared to other Tales titles its sales are not so spectacular as to warrant great fanfare.
Whatever the case, it appears the Xbox 360 has lately been relegated to the status of development system in Japan…

Ignore those angry X-box fanboys, when the English version of TOV will be release?
You know who wins? Not butthurt Xbros OR the Sony Defense Force. Tales fans. We don't give a shit and are happy to have a great Tales game on both platforms.

Everyone loves a loli pirate!!!
*thumbs up*
I'm still trying to find a reason to care about this. Who gives a flying fuck what Japs do in their own damn country?
every time i play tales on my xbox i think..."beta" makes me sad lmfao but honestly its good it came out on ps3 im just pissed of at the extra content on it...
i h8 they hype around halo 3 ODST when modern warfare 2 comes out everyone will forget about ODST i dnt like modern warfare just stating the obvious....
You know that Patty isn't the ONLY character in the game, and even having her as a new character, hearing about her name 8th time in 8 Vesperia's news... you love her, aren't you ?
Screw it.
this is to be expected since most rpg player play their game for hours non stop, and RROD is one think why most xbox user not rpg fan, and waiting for it faithfully on ps3
"although compared to other Tales titles its sales are not so spectacular as to warrant great fanfare."
Now that's some progress, there. Keep at it, Arte-kun!
Won't you please come to America? Not all of us only want to play FPS =(
On an altogether different matter, Halo 3: ODST's first day sales are well over Killzone 2's lifetime sales. Something like 90.000 units above Guerrilla's smoke and mirrors show, compared to the minuscule 33.000 difference between 360's full-res ToV "beta" and PS3's low-res ToV "perfect" version.
Lol, now I understand why Arte keeps doing these, theyr'e fun to write!! :D
THAT IS NOT WHAT BETA MEANS YOU STUPID FUCK SHITS
Yeah, ToV on the 360 was more like an RTM release.
So the PS3's release actual name should be something like "ToV Service Pack 1".
That's better, lol.
wai.. isn't artefact a girl?
Let's face it, the 360 in Japan in a kiddy porn light "game" machine and the sales of it's software proves it time and time again.
That and RR0D and BEEFCAKE!
"Perfect"? It would be if the graphics weren't worse. But even so, I'll be getting it anyway, once it's a Greatest Hits title.
hey you the guy who write the news show your self put you name dont be a chiken stop saying bullshit on your porn japanese page
what?
get a life all of you and yes what idiot plays a game for graphics instead of game play
So let me get this straight, the ps3 copy sold more.......because of a loli? Putting aside the mass amounts of additional content, I truely believe that would have been the case, it's JAPAN after all.
Perfect Tales of Vesperia indeed. LOL
lol WOW.
ENG port pl0x?!?
The most I'll pay for remake is $20.00. Japanese people are morons for paying full price for a remake.
don't never say an unkind word about the master race.
i dont think that there is any "x-box fanboy" who cries about ToV... i own a xbox and ps3 and also Tov on the xbox and well.. the game was good, but still not so good that anyone should cry about being a "beta tester" i personally enjoyed Star Ocean 4 more than ToV (the AI is kind of a bad joke in ToV).. and the xbox has a better resolution than the ps3.. most games on ps3 are 720p and xbox has everything with 1080p and you see the difference clearly.
one of the best feature at the ps3 is the fact that all the games are region free.. (good for europe, because we sometimes have to wait a year to get the same game without any changes and that sucks). i personally never had a rrod and even if you get one.. they repair it in 1-2weeks for free so who cares and i dont think that that happens with the jasper version.. still i think i will buy ToV on ps3 too (us import), but you guys should stop acting like some kids with the whole ps3 / xbox talking - each console has their good and bad sides.
and ODST is trash. i threw it away after 2 hours.
no one can tell me that they enjoy that thing that they call a campain.
I owned a 360 long enough without another system. And this bullshits just keeps coming and coming. I'm getting a ps3 on my next fucking paycheck...
who cares? the game was another mediocre cut and paste jrpg. why everyone makes a big deal about the addition of like 2 characters (although loli pirate wins) is beyond me. the story has been done countless times, and the characters are all carbon copies of some other mediocre jrpg. go play mass effect.
what you have desicrabed sir is evry single FPS
Ahhh PS3 pwnd the 360 lol.
Sackgirl Chun Li.
These were all made with little big planet.
I'm more intrigued by how unshackled LittleBigPlanet content creators are! You might have just convinced me to pick up a copy.
pint size Chun Li (@ u @)
Even if the PS3 version were inferior to the 360 version, it'd still sell more because there are far more PS3 owners than there are 360 owners in Japan.
So that's why it's called the Xbox
Bitch sure got ditched fast.
sooo.... another year for european/us release or what ?
Sorry, no game for you unless you live in GLORIOUS NIPPON
i don't live in japan, but i have ToV for PS3
so you kinda fail
Who is the second one from the left? Karol? O___o"
god japanese are racist
do you enjoy the beta testing on rrod-box?
lol
I agree I have all current gen systems so doesn't bother me but im pretty puzzled why they like an inferior system just because its Japanese.
And how is the PS3 a inferior system to the xbox? Almost everything the xbox does, the ps3 does even better, it is fact. Better hardware, better firmware, around a 1% fail rate only, same price as xbox, blu-ray(which is needed for because of the discs capability to hold 50gbs of data for games), free online, it does not look like a peice of plastic garbage, it is quiet, etc.
-Not to mention the games have not even used the Ps3 to it's full potential yet and it has a ton of good titles coming out.
Only games on xbox that I would want to get is Gow or ODST, everything else is on the PS3.
1. Take old game
2. Add loli
3. ????
4. Rerelease and sell tons of copies at full price.
Suddenly I see why Capcom thinks the japanese game industry is finished.
This business model should be used more widely.
PROFIT
I second that
You're stupid as fuck.
You don't profit
I'm a sad panda
You don't profit
I'm a sadist panda O_o
You don't profit
Screw Capcom and that gurofag Cowell.
Loli and jiggling oppai sell better than violence.
Show me the way.
Fail
Awesome. :)
Figures.
I'm kinda surprised this happened. I didn't expect the game to do better than the "beta" version that quickly. Maybe the Sony fans in Japan are mocking the Xbox 360 fans.
since im a tales fan over being an xbox fan i dont really mind i used to get mad but meh. xbox will continue to get buttfucked in japan so who cares. and rrod thats all the fan boys can say because we all know unless you import your games your blue-ray player is collecting dust. right next to your wii
Saying "RROD is all the fan boys can say" is ridiculous.
"The only thing they can find wrong with the console is that it has a 54% failure rate! Damn, is that all? You guys are obviously butthurt fanboys!"
hurr durr
I bought the new arcade hardware with the 512mb built-in... RROD
Tossed that shit in the trash, I didn't even get two whole month's of play out of it! Even worse, I find out Gamestop doesn't even give double-digits trade-in for Tales beta.
Hopefully Star Ocean International will tide me over until we get a firm US PS3 release for Tales.
The Jasper model of the 360 that's been out for nearly a year has a reported less-than 1% RROD rate.
Sing another song.
Making up numbers is fun isn't it. What's your source?
Anyways, enjoy still paying for Xbox Live when your system is off for RROD repair. That's always entertaining isn't it?
And you're saying RROD isn't enough of a reason?
Yea... Xbox is totally the best console ever...
It's the Gods' gift to men...
/sarcasm
so when do we get ps3 release in europe?!

So, when will we get a post about the "lol PS2 beta testers" of Persona 3, since the "perfect" version is coming to the PSP?
well there is a difference between masterbation and assfucking your competitor.....
YOU RRoD 360 BETA TESTERS FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.
Lol at the last pic; Beta TOV, Beta SO4, Beta Ninja Gaiden... Still missing Beta Eternal Sonata though..
how about beta gta4
no dlc for you
how about beta orange box, full of bugs and frame rate issues for ps3 users
how about beta bayonetta that has worst graphics and frame rate issues
how about beta ghostbusters that is in a lower resoltuion than the 360 version
I'm not a 360 fanboy, I own both a 360 and ps3 but you stupid blind fanboys who ignore bad ps3 ports get on my tits.
every game you listed is better on PC then both consoles so STFU (PC 4TW).
I pitty your comments and go fucking jog around your block you fat motherfucker. Your man tits is nothing to be proud off. No wonder you own both consoles you no life prick.
I agree with games on PC being better; Anon at 23:42 is a jack ass too.
Some games though are better for a console and controller. Only real pros to console gaming is there are no hackers and not needing to spend 600 bucks for that Gtx 295 graphics card to play games at great FPS. = /
Actually there's no PC version of Bayonetta, or at least it wasn't announced yet. Not to mention a fuckload of console-only games, but taht's beyond the point.
And the Ghostbusters game was losing the online multiplayer mode on PC, too.
People need to be able to just point and click to do well in FPS. It's kind of sad.
Owning both systems makes you a no life prick now? Get a job, you no life prick.
don't forget 'perfect' tov that has worse graphics than the 360 version, haha.
"but you stupid blind fanboy(s)"
Lol who me? I'm just stating what's up with the last pic, dum-dom. I'm neither siding on any console (since i'm currently still happy with my PS2).. though the RRoD, the denying XB fanboys and Arte's interesting style of dissing do sometimes make me want to troll along..
The bizarre fixation on this site with Vesperia's ever-so-slight upgrades is a great source of amusement for me, I must admit.
As always though, I'm happy to see a Tales game selling well (and considering the ridiculously tiny number of Japanese XboX owners, the game *needs* this), yet personally feel kinda underwhelmed by the additions. Persona 3 FES was worth buying again, but I just don't get what the big deal is here. Other than the delightful console war fuel, of course.
I guess loli pirates just don't do it for me. I suppose I'll go back to playing Valkeria again while I wait for Brütal Legend.
It's not so bizarre when you take into consideration it's the flagship title of PS3's only market above the 360 (as opposed to, you know, the PS2 owning the whole place during last generation, even though it was massively inferior the the original Xbox and all that).
And the cool thing 'bout FES was that there also was an add-on or "append" disc at a reduced price in Japan, if memory serves me well.
STOP POSTING THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU FUCKING MORON
Yes...feel the rage...feed the power of the Dark Side...
Why is Rorona being chummy with the Vesperia lolis?
and yet the 360 is selling 5 times as much as ps3 worldwide lol.
the console..... not the games.....
since piracy is such a huge issue for xbox no body buys the games however due to rrod everyone still pick up consoles worldwide.
too bad jap ppl support their gaming industry by buying originals... why do u think microsoft wanna get into japan so badly?!
btw your halo series sucked and microsoft buttfucked you with odst which is just an expansion pack rewrapped and re-sold to your geek fanbois.
hey man dont insult ODST halo 2 and 3 suck i admit but Halo ODST blows anything exclusive to ps3 out of the water
If you've actually played ODST, you'll see how awesome it is. Having never owned any of the 3 previous Halos, it was a sweet purchase for me.
If Halo 3 was even half as great as ODST is, then all that fanboying wasn't for nothing.
lol american's sure don't know how to brain.
1. Xbox 360 had a year headstart with a ~10m lead (thanks to Xbox's by me again 3times-6times-or don't buy me at all0 RRoD)
2. Xbox 360 is basically selling the most in america (Basically the people that make the 6times purchase a reality)
you must have failed in math at school lol
