All figures are rough estimates...
- annual loss of 1 million dollars
- accumulated debt of 21 million dollars
Things certainly aren't looking good for the studio. You have to wonder what Namco Bandai is going to do from here. Seems like some restructuring is going to have to take place. Thanks to Bpower for the heads up.
GoNintendo - Tales Studio nearing bankruptcy
all they needed to do was release an English Tales of Vesperia for PS3
but too late
the game would've sold more than the xbox version
they also need to release Tales of Grace in America
Why Japan only for the wii?

That's a shame... But then again the only Tales game I overly enjoyed was Symphonia.

Dang it D: Y'know I've bought every tales game I could get my hands on (more like the ones I can afford) but if they brought some of the games over to the US that could have helped owo I want ToV for the PS3 and Graces for the wii and also Radiant Mythology 2 and VS for my psp D:
Bring it over to the US

Maybe if they had put some effort into the English releases they would have done better. As much as I like the Tales games they feel like they were crapped out with no real passion sometimes.

Namco itself hasn't been doing too well. This probably explains why a studio with such popular games could go under.

Am I the only one who imported ToV PS3?
It really isn't that hard to play once you get the basic menu structure worked out (though skills become a pain).
