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...

and you think sony wont make another shipment for the go this year even though they already sold 1/3rd of it in 2 weeks with the holiday sals go full force in another 2 weeks. I didn't say it was undershipped I said if there was something wrong with the shipments it would be undershipped.
