The PS3 edition of loli pirate RPG Tales of Vesperia has sold the most units of any Tales game ever on its opening day, selling more than twice as many copies as the popular Xbox beta version, with an estimated total of 147,000.
The previous Tales games have generally done well, but never as well as this, especially considering the title was already released once.
The opening day sales of previous titles:
Tales of Innocence (DS – 76,000)
Tales of Symphonia (Wii – 120,000)
Tales of Vesperia β (Xbox 360 – 71,000)
Tales of Hearts (DS – 121,000)
Radiant Mythology 2 (PSP – 135,000)
Tales of VS (PSP – 89,000)
Tales of Vesperia (PS3 – 147,000)
The beta version has sold just shy of 200,000 units to date (in Japan), so it seems possible “Perfect ToV” may be able to double even that, which could make an impressive total of 600,000 when added to the not unimpressive Xbox figures…
The game, which comes highly recommended, is available now.

Wonder if western PS3 users won’t get shafted on this one too, as was the case with Trusty Bell: http://www.rpgfan.com/editorials/2008/06-17.html

Lol
You people act like you are privileged to be able to spend your money on a 2 year old game.
i don’t know what’s the surprise…it a might’ve been a “timed” exclusive game but that doesn’t mean it has to be equal in any sense…M$ paid Namco to get it first on the 360(ok all you xbots can say that M$ was just looking out for you fans)but we all knew it was gonna be re-released on the ps3 sooner or later.As such sony took it onto themselves to give us(ps3 owners) a better version and why not? they had a another year to work on it and the ps3 is a true next gen console(IMO) unlike the 360(i know some of you disagree)so why not advantage of the improvements that can be done.Ports are fine i am happy that players of another console can enjoy the same game as me except when it compromise the quality of the game based on the limitations of said console.That being said i will be picking up a copy of the ps3 version.
