Resonance could just like Valkyria Chronicles or Demon's Soul very well have good legs due the good word of mouth.

Well, for that to happen, it'll need to be a high quality game.  And given tri-Ace's track record... uh... yeah...

Looking at the numbers again, Valkyria 2's 2nd week is kinda bad. It's actually slightly less than the original... now I'm not sure if it's even going to make 200k. :/

I CALLED IT!

I knew it should've been on PS3


You must remember that is cost a lot less to produce PSP game compared to PS3. With similar sales PSP version definetely makes more profit.

Well, the engine and most of the assets were already in place on PS3... honestly, in this case I doubt a PS3 version would've been all that much more costly, considering they had to start from the ground up on PSP.  Also, PSP games don't sell shit outside Japan.

rumors are that the leaked numbers are fake...

VC has not performed that well in Japan on the PS3. It took large marketing, best edition and Anime to raise sales to a decent point with majority of sales coming at reduced price. So i understand the decision to put it on PSP , which is a great platform for RPG's on which games tend to sell, it has a larger userbase and it reduces the costs.

EoE must be good.

The Last Hope and Infinite Undiscovery were partially outsourced, while EoE was made by the same team that did make Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, nevertheless the user reviews so far have been pretty positive and the Japanese that I have spoken on PSN love it so far.

It's true though that the two mentioned games have hurt Tri-Ace reputation. Even in Japan, The Last Hope is seen as a mediocre game. Shame they have killed the series.

Valkyrie Profile 2 was partially outsourced too actually (to internal Square Enix staff).  All tri-Ace's 3D games have been so far.  Feelplus worked on the two previous HD games in a support capacity anyway (mostly modeling and art assets) the game design was 100% tri-Ace.  I expect there'll be some subcontracting with EOE too...
