A Black Falcon Wrote:450,000 US GC or something? Better than Baten Kaitos, which DID get a GC sequel (which did terribly, probably because people liked ToS more than Baten Kaitos...), and as I said quite bit better than Legendia or Abyss US sales. In Japan the PS2 ones (there are five PS2 Tales games in Japan) did sell better than Symphonia on GC, I think, which is why the decision was made; it had nothing to do with US sales, as always.
Namco didn't put Tales of the Abyss on GC because Namco, like Sega, makes bad decisions about which platforms to put its games on.
That's not quite true... Xbox didn't have Capcom exclusives, but at least they released a bunch of their 2d fighting games on it... GC only got CvS2. :(
Other than that though that's mostly right. If you said that as "PS2" instead of "Japanese platforms" though, I'd say.
RPGs tend to do well in Japan more so than in the states. The PS2 was the safest bet all around though.
Xbox did get that Capcom dinosaur game exclusive...third in the series...can't think of the name...it was dinosaurs in space though. lol
