How about Valkyrie?

Both Valkyrie and Disgaea 3 bombed, and I think Disgaea is far more popular than Eternal Sonata.

No Disgaea game has ever sold more than 150k and Disgaea 3 sold 110k.
VC is a SRPG so if you say it bombed with its 150k then so did Fire Emblem Wii and its 170k in Japan.....and FE is an established franchise.

 

 

I agree.  Disgaea has never been a high-selling franchise.  It's more of a cult classic that appeals to a small hardcore fanbase.  Disgaea 3 has sold about as much as Disgaea 1 & 2 have, and the PS3 has a much smaller install base than the PS2.  So if anything Disgaea 3 has exceeded expectations.
