VC2 going to PSP could be for a plethora of reasons, it is not proof that the first didn't make money. I have a hard time believing that the game got 570k sales and still hasn't earned Sega a cent. |
I'm not arguing profitability, just likely expectations. And then, I think it's likely localized to Japan, I doubt Sega expected much in the west (they clearly don't with the sequel). In Japan though, this was hearalded as a AAA game, from the Sakura Taisen team, with a huge promotional push and even Famitsu coverage for months after it released. They probably expected Japanese sales more in line with the main Sakura Taisen games (~300-600k, pre-budget).
This is all pretty OT though, we should keep the discussion centered on this week's sales.

I think you dont know what expectations were and i think you are pulling numbers from your ass.

You also think PSP go wasn't a flop because it was undershipped (lol) and sold to only the phantom demographic it was intended for anyway. Hey wait, this feels familiar...
