I totally agree with you here. Definitely not a system seller, nor will it save Sony. I think it has a shot, however slight, at hitting a million.
Not ruling that out this early. 
Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?
Person 2: No.
Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?
