It's a shame to see Tales of Symphonia on Wii dropping down the chart so quickly...

It's done its part; I'm pretty sure it's accumulated more than the original, and will no doubt end up making more moneys than Vesperia.

Tales of Symphonia sold 322,779 on the GameCube and a further 394,312 on the PS2. So considering the Wii game is limping its way to the 200,000 mark it\'s not too impressive at all, sadly.

Out of interest, Dragon Quest V\'s PS2 remake sold 1,611,974 in total...Also, the first Band Brothers has sold 189,324 since its release at launch with the DS in Japan back in December 2004.
