Xenoblade has sold great.

Don't turn this thread into something worse than it already is -.-

Sure, that sort of thing doesn't belong but Xenoblade has sold decently. 80k in 5 weeks is not great.



I'd say 80k for a JRPG on the Wii in 2011 in EMEAA is fairly good. To compare it to Valkyria Chronicles, which sold less than 80k after 10 Weeks. Also, in a Week or 2 the game will have surpassed 250k WW. I think it's done well. Will sell over 100k in EMEAA, should get an american release.

and VC sold pretty badly in Europe!

I suppose I don't give too much relativity for RPGs in EU.

man i just realized that i didnt post in this...shame on me...congratulations to Sega and the whole Valkyria Chronicles family...still my 2nd favorite  PS3 game right after MGS4...it deserved the million...and even like 5 millino more ^^

hope to see the franchise back on the PS3...a VC 2/3 HD remaster would be enough to make me happy...please Sega...im begging you!



I'm not at liberty to give my source, but NPD has this under 220k US fwiw. Overtracked like crazy.

So Demon's Souls is a break out unexpected hit, but VC couldn't possibly be just because of your gut?  You know why Demon's Souls was a break out unexpected hit?  simple, because it's a uniquely fantastic game that got word of mouth to keep it's sales alive and give it unprecedented lets.  Souns like VC to me.

Your greatest hits argument is crap, there are too many exceptions in both directions for that to be an ironclad rule that 500,000 equals Greatest Hits.  Disgaea 3 in one direction isn't even at 300k, Bioshock 2 on the other hand has 600,000 and no greatest hits.  Obviously there are other conditions/deals in play.


Atlus mentioned DS sold 500k, we have proof. Sega made no mention of great VC sales after that article you linked me despite the supposed 650k sales. Disgaea 3 is a mistake because there is no GH for that game to begin with. I don't know why Bioshock 2 isn't a GH yet, but VC is a game that came out in 2008. There should've been more room for it to become a GH (if it did pass the sales criteria) than B2. They could've done it when VC2 launched on the PSP or something. B2 could still become a GH eventually, VC doesn't seem like it has a chance since nearly 3 years have passed.


Dude,

just give it up.

 

VC is 3 years old, has great reviews, and the PS3 has over 50 million users.

 

You act like a great game that's old as heck selling 1 million units is a near miracle or something.


Take the amount of posts you've made.

Multiply it WITH A THOUSAND

Then you're still faaar away from Soriku's # of posts.

 

The dude has written hundreds of thousands of words (probably millions) on this website about gaming. Just consider that for a second mkay.

Yeah... for the 3rd one... ask a fantranslator group... SEGA announced that we won't be getting it =/



*shameful*

I haven't played it.

I really want to, but the money and time just isn't quite there... But (as with Demon's Souls) it'll come my way all by itself.

I read it, but a discrepancy this big is worth mentioning.
