While the game was said to have been unlikely to come here, the title has done very well in Japan, and as such Namco Bandai are expecting 400,000 in sales from an as of yet untitled addition to the series for the DS. Perhaps these factors will influence the company's decision to release Tales of Innocence here at some point in the future.

..there was also mention of a third Tales RPG for the Nintendo DS. Sadly neither Tales of the Tempest or the fantastic Tales of Innocence have been announced for a Western release so far, despite both selling over 200,000 copies in Japan, but it can only be hoped that this new version does get a translation. Whereas expectations for Innocence were considerably lowered after the sales disaster of Tempest (which only accrued its decent-sized sales thanks to a price collapse, with new copies reportedly being sold now for mere pounds), the response to Innocence thanks to good word-of-mouth means Bandai Namco is expecting 400,000 sales from the new, currently untitled outing in the long-running RPG franchise.
