First day 115k in Japan,first week 169k and a LTD WW 550k.

Europe and others don't really buy jrpgs other then FF. In NA, it depends on if it's released next to a shooter then it will just get ignored like VC.

VC was released on wrong platform.

 

 

How so???

 

Ehm it sold 33k first month in the US.

There are several possible explanations: PS3 userbase is more shooter/sportsminded and doesn't have the JRPG base PS3 userbase doesn't like cell-shaded graphics (PoP is another hint in that direction).

I know SRPG is different from SRPG but the general fanbase is about the same, just a lot smaller. But 33k is pathetic. Fire Emmblem sold 400k in the US and released on about the same userbase as the PS3 now.

Fire Emblem is a relatively popular series. VC is a loved yet unhyped IP.

 

Which is why it needs:

1) more advertising

2) A large userbase

3) Lower dev cost

 

All 3 of those would be easier on the wii (the advertising would be easier since dev costs would be lower). And on Fire Emblem, its still a nich title in the US. Plus, those tales numbers are sexy for a spinoff. I think VC could have done 70-100k in us during the first month on the wii with a bit of advertising.
