Walking around the streets of Akihabara, you'd be hard pressed to find a copy of
Tales of Vesperia for PS3. Why? The game has sold over 140,000 units in one day, according to
initial reports from Japan. Already, that's more than the first
month of sales for the original Xbox 360 version, and nearly equal to the
lifetime sales for that version. The promise of
added content and being on a system that Japanese people
actually own both contributed favorably to Namco Bandai's sales.
While Namco Bandai must be pleased with the money it's raking in (from yesterday's sales, and
from Microsoft), the publisher has yet to announce a US release for
Vesperia PS3. We think there are
a lot of new PS3 owners that would love to check out the game on Sony's console.
