okay, now I lied. I'm still talking about Valkyria damnit. :/
| Soriku said: VC made money, that much is obvious. Otherwise Sega wouldn't have said they were happy with sales... They moved VC2 to PSP for Japan sales obviously. I'd say they want it to be another Sakura Taisen for them. The consequence is that the Western sales might be negligable... |
I'm not aware Sega said they were happy with sales, at least initially? It certainly hasn't been highlighted in their IR or come from any of their PR. I do think it's probably crawled to "acceptable" levels though, and I think I remember a developer quote to that effect when the VC2 bomb hit?
I agree though, Sakura Tasien is probably more what they're shooting for with the IP (Japanese PR really pushed the team's connection here too btw), which is why PSP makes sense. I think it's a little shortsighted though, they'd have been better served going with Wii or HD multi from a worldwide perspective.
