Did you notice I was talking about Valkyria Chroncles, which has done poorly in the West? WKC did very good first day, and I will gladly agree with that - Won't sell it's first shipment out it's first week, but it looks like WKC will do 180-190k first week, which is pretty good.

I guess the question is 'what is the most likely highest budget JRPG this gen, supposed to sell?'.

PSO on DS did pretty crappy. I was expecting far more from it.

Highest selling First week HD JRPG in JP is "pretty good".  Guess all the 360 ones must be absolute crap.

And what is you comment about budgeting about?  Are you saying that WKC is the highest budget game?  And if so, were did you get that number from?

All of the 360 JRPGs released on a system that has 1/3rd the PS3 install base. Thats like saying 'Call of Duty 4 sold like crap on the PS3' - Totally ignoring the notion that systems with higher install bases *gasp* should sell games better.

WKC was announced well over two years ago for the PS3. That puts the development time of WKC longer than any other known JRPG outside of FFXIII. Not only this, it's one of the only games Level 5 has been working on outside of the Layton series for the past 2 years....That tells me a lot of the team worked on it. So I have reason to believe, given the development time, that WKC either matches, or exceeds any JRPG that's been released.
