That seems again like an assumption, they mentioned that jump in sales to advertise the decreased price and the anime. Just because they mention a month where they had 10s of thousands of sales doesn't mean they're going to mention a perioud of 2 years where they got 150-200,000 over a much longer time period, that can be achieved in 2 years without ever selling 10,000 in another month.
You're making assumptions of what Sega definitely would tell people if it happened, if that's the only evidence along with your gut feeling then I really see no reason to go with that over actual sales data regardless of it's track record. I'd go with Brett a thousand times before I went with what someone "feels" something sold.
NPD leak is that guy from neogaf Jarred would always bring up who had the VC numbers from NPD supposedly.
Really, we're both just going off a lack of evidence to believe whatever side of the argument we want to believe.

It's not just a feeling though. Since when do RPGs sell little in a month then explode to 650k? Even if the game suddenly started selling well, 650k doesn't sound reasonable to me at all.
As for the NPD leak, are you talking about the 33k I mentioned? Because VGC literally has almost the same exact numbers...so either they're both right, or they're both wrong. And if they're both wrong then...yeah. What can I say about the total sales VGC has for VC then?

When do RPG's have a huge second push with a "best of" release, get listed constantly in top ten's for their console, and get an anime? Valkyria Chronicles doing something most RPG's don't doesn't shock me in the slightest.
33k isn't a leak, that's the sales they specifically released. No I'm talking about a guy who said he could leak VC's totals as well as other games after years to see how they ended up doing in total and not just their first month. Jarred would often quote his leaks as proof that Demon's Souls and VC did not do nearly as well as VGC claimed. Was proven wrong for Demon's Souls so I do not take it as evidence for VC.
