I'd love 2+3 on Vita.

Or, heck, all of them if SEGA is willing to make the effort.

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

Why would you have access to such data and not VGC/ioi?

 

I although have no difficulty believing it's overtracked.

I don't think he has, his source does.

Under 220k would still be good, even great for an RPG in the US though...just not 650k.

It's just that you'd think we would have heard from Sega if the game did so well.

Moving the franchise to the PSP might have been a better decision than it seems after all. Or at least not as awful of a decision as it seemed.

I bought it two years ago I think. I need to get back into it because my original PS3 died on me and I lost EVERYTHING.

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.


I'm not following your point.

What is your point?
