So Tales of Graces has been released in Japan, and the question is if it'll get released in America (I'm saying America because, well, I'm sure everybody in the rest of the world knows how these things usually go)
First off, sales. On the first day, Tales of Graces sold less then Tales of Symphonia 2. A mothership title sold less then an Escort title. Now, admittingly, there are good reasons (competing with FF13, Wii has a pretty bad RPG reputation, ToS2 may have turned away future customers, and the low market), but that's not a very good sign. Not sure about the current sales though; I know a site that has information but I can't read it since it's in Japanese. (It's here if you can understand it)
Second off, the game. According to many people who have played it, the game feels incomplete, is kind of buggy and is accordingly rather short.
Also, there isn't any motion control (and if there is, it's rather minimal). It seems that this game might get ported to a different system.
Of course, until Spring of 2010 passes we won't know for sure, but things don't look good right now.
