why does this matter again?

shall we do a thread every time game x overtakes game y of the same genre on an opposing console.

pointless... but yeah congrats... or whatever.

ps. is calling a game "shitty" trolling? I would have thought it was.

Well this matters sorta, mainly because this effectively makes Valkyria Chronicles the best selling JRPG on HD consoles(other than FFXIII which hasnt released yet in US/EU). VC was toted heavily in these forums as being top notch JRPG and im glad to see it reflect a bit in sales.

You can't really say it's the best selling JRPG on HD systems as FF13 easily surpassed it (and LO's sales) even though it has only been released in one region and on one system. FF13 became the best selling JRPG on HD consoles the first day it was released in Japan.

You can't say that not being released in NA/EU would disqualify it as that actually makes what it has done so far even more impressive. Once it's released overseas it will have even greater sales as well.

Do you know how many JRPGs break or even get close to 1mill? not many. The only ones that do it consistantly is FF and DQ(talking big consoles here). Thats like saying we can't talk about Jr leagues cause we know the pros are better :/. We KNOW FF is going to outsell any and every JRPG this gen on HD consoles, thats a given. Why talk about what we know is inevitable? Trying to give some other very good games the spot light once in a while.
