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.

The "Best" release and the anime are Japan only so I don't take that as evidence for America sales. Where was it listed consantly in the top 10 for PS3? Here or NPD? Either way 650k is still too much. I mean I don't deny the game sold well at all - there's a VC2 and VC3 now after all as well as the anime (though VC3 and the anime are only for Japan...) - but 650k in Americas is reaching.

The "best" release I'll give you but you can't really think that the anime only being in Japan stopped anyone that was likely to buy the game? Hell if that were true I wouldn't have seen nearly as much anime as I have. The "Top Ten" thing was about quality not sales, just evidence that assuming Valkyria will follow the same pattern as most other rpg's is unfounded.
YOu can call it reaching all you want, but without actual evidence I can only think of you as a "hater".
