According to vgc:
ps3 rpg software unit sales outside japan: 3,12 M
psp rpg software unit sales outside japan: 6,54 M

ps3 rpg software unit sales in japan: 1,20 M
psp rpg software unit sales in japan: 11,68 M

So, for every ps3 rpg game sold OUTSIDE japan, 2 psp rpg games are sold.
And for every ps3 rpg game sold IN japan, 10 psp rpg games are sold.

These numbers give you a clear idea of where rpg fans reside.

If you add these:
-jrpg (or s-jrpg if you like) are not selling really well in hd consoles
-jrpg are selling well in ds/psp
-psp is a great machine to play for many consumers
-there are lots of ps3/psp owners
-vc2 will probably be a spin-off of vc1 (a port with new missions and slight new plot but no real new mechanics and/or features).
-Production cost of vc2 will be much lower than that of vc.

If vc2 delivers i think the most probable effect will be the broadening of it's audience, reinforcing possibilities of a true sequel on ps3.

So, in my opinion VC2 for PSP can be very good for PS3 or for hd consoles in general if becoming multi.

Now everybody go buy this little beauty!!!

How can PS3 have big jrpg sales in Japan when there was 1 semi big title released for it ?

I think if you do this chart in january after FFXIII, Word of Eternity, ToV are released numbers will be much diffrent.
