The fact that this is so highly rated, that the Playstation brand is considered "the best platform" for JRPGs and yet this has sold so little doesn't speak well to the health of the genre as a whole.

~350k WW sales can't be making any of the creators happy.

I think beyond Japan these JRPGs can't really be considered system-sellers in today's age.

Or, perhaps PS3 owners have spoken about what entertainment titles they want... and they aren't JRPGs.

On the 360, Tales of Vesperia seems to have outlined that there are too many of these types of titles on the 360 for the market to support.

The difference in sales between the two (Vesperia on 360 and Chronicles on PS3) is only 80k units, and that's with Vesperia no longer being produced in the US...

Weird days indeed.

You realize that Tales of Vesperia should have completely obilerated Valkyria Chronicles in sales, right?

Not to mention he just compared an established JRPG IP to a new SJRPG IP.

Not to mention there is nowhere near "too many of these types of titles on the 360 for the market to support".
