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.
