I'm here! <3 <3

Last we heard from GAF, it was "slowly approaching 150k" according to NPD. lol.

Who was it who assurred me we'd get a Sega press release when the "franchise" had cleared a million?  Shouldn't we have gotten that by now? ;)

I was sort of thinking about doing a thread asking people what they think is the best game this gen that won't sell 1 million. I, of course, was going to say Valkyria Chronicles. But what do I see when I go to the game page? >900K. That means it is a possible million seller.

So I abandoned that thread for this one instead.

What do you reckon?

It certainly deserves 1 million in sales; it deserves 2 million IMO.

So where's your evidence? NPD? "lol".

Why should we? It still hasn't crossed a Million and it's hardly selling any copies weekly. IF VC3 is true, then we might get some indication to the series' sales, like i assumed we would have done with a VC2 release.

You piss me off when you put across every other tracker's numbers as fact. They aren't. We are on VGC... So use VGC. Stop trying to discredit VGC numbers at every opportunity you get. ";)"

Funny thing is, that NPD leak I linked was dead on for Demon's Souls too, which got proven out when we got the shipment numbers from Atlus.  VGC substantially overtracked that game too.

VGC's great, and I applaud their transparency and service to the public, but they're not perfect.  And they seem to have something of a track record of inflating sales  for these sorts of games...

So? VGC have been right on some stuff and wrong on others before too. And they have then gone on to be adjusted. Same goes for NPD... They have also been proven wrong.

Until you have proof, you can't seriously try to make arguements that it's overtracked. When you have real proof, not another tracking agencies numbers... Then I will believe you and accept it's not sold anywhere near as well as VGC has it at right now.

I'm just talking likelihoods, these are all just estimates.  When we get 'proof' of however much it's actually moved, if we ever get that, we'll probably see massive downward adjustments on VGC.  Like we did for Demon's Souls.

The sad thing is, reaching 150k for game like this in the US is honestly sort of great, especially considering were it started (only 33k it's 1st NPD, only 74k as of Feb 2009).  Not many JRPGs even make it to 150k in the US, and the only other ones that probably have on PS3 so far are FFXIII, Demon's Souls and maybe Disgaea 3.  150k for Valkyria should, frankly, be seen as a good thing when you really get down it.

I'm thinking after the 3rd game comes out on the P#, SEGA will do an Anthology for the XBox 360 and have all 3 games bundled in for $59.99. Im surprised SEGA has made more games for the XBox 360. They were huge supporters last gen and made a ton of exclusives for the XBox. Microsoft should just buy them out. They really need a Japanese developer in their stables anyways.
