Valkyria Chronicles OUTSELLS Lost Odyssey

They will never port LO or Blue Dragon to the PS3. SEGA should have ported Valkyria Chronicles to the XBox 360 and Wii. That could have been done easily. SEGA made tons of XBox exclusives last gen like Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Panzer Dragon Orta, SEGA GT, Otogi 1 & 2, and all the 2K Sports games. Not sure why they didn't do much for Microsoft this generation. I still want Shenmue 3 and Gunvalkyrie 2.

Truth be told, I dunno if the game would've gained that much from going multi.  It seems like a hard sell, though the more tps-style gameplay might've made some headway with the shooter loving 360 base.  Though then again, Sega might not have been able to get that Sony funded anime then.

A Wii port would've been a bit more work, I think a better move would've been to make Valkyria 2 PSP/Wii multiplatform (PSP for JP sales, Wii for western sales).

 

Also, Sega did horribly on Xbox 1.  JSRF, GunValkyrie and Orta did so badly that Smilebit got shout down over it.  Sega banked last gen mainly on GameCube (with Sonic & Monkey Ball) and PS2 (with Virtua Fighter and Yakuza).
