Forums - Sony - About 100.000 Valkyria Chronicles pre-orders in Japan

If I'm not mistaken Disgaea 3 sold the first week bout 80.000 and that for a known brand... if this game could sell about the same... then I guess no ones has to whine about it really... for a new IP, indeed with guns (not particular famous with the Japanese), it sure would be pretty good.

58,000. So if it does around that it'd actually be amazing. Considering that and Radiant Dawns 76,000 opening.

It's a shame how niche SRPGs are... well for me. They're my favorite genre.

Seems they only sell on handhelds... sad cause i hate handhelds.  Even then it takes the FF brand name to sell 150K.

 56K first week, 80k LTD ( Enterbrain ).

However I agree with Onna and  Kas, strategic RPG is a niche genre ( I mean the last Fire Emblem for Wii sold about 170K units ) although this title seems a very good quality one.

Owww.... just only a bit away from it hi hi.... Does anybody know the Famitsu score of VC? Can't really seem to find it... yet. Well ... as long as its not a S.E. game its always the question if it will sell well or not.

400.000 Worldwide... we're talking about Japan only. Yakuza 3 hasn't even been released in the West yet so it will easily sell over 400.000. @Neos, wow really? That's an amazing score, about the same as Disgaea 3 if I'm right (please let me be right this time )

100k first week is not amazing



But if a game sold 500.000 only do 100.00 of profits. If you invert a money two years and only profits a 25% is bomb. But not import this to sega mario and sonic patch his losses.



This game is probably very good, but I smell yet another under-performance by a PS3 title. Sony needs Final Fantasy, and they need it now!
