Why has nobody mentioned LBP being overtracked?

There have been other SRPGs that sold over 1m copies worldwide since FFT. Probably one of the GBA FEs, FE: PoR, FFTA, probably its sequel, probably the FFT remake and finally FFXII:RW. There could be others as well, but no one ever reached the astounding sales numbers of FFT.

Probably? All you have is some titles that you think sold more than a million without any evidence for it?

Yep.  FFT did an amazing job for being a dumbed down Tactics Ogre.

well FF12 Reverent Wings did for sure.  According to this site anyway.

Were you high? Even the most hardcore fan of this series didn't expect this to do well. Only a couple of less informed poeple brought this up and even they were just asking if we think if the game will reach a million LTD (which it won't) and were quickly brought to their senses by solid argument against it.

*SRPG

*Cell Shading

*Release at the prime time of the holiday and face stiff competition from a mammoth release list.

This game simply had no chance.

Wow.
I know SRPG are niche, but I expected better from Valkyria Chronicles on PS3.
My benchmark is Fire Emblem, and Radiant Dawn this generation.
I just plainly didn't expect to see such a good SRPG as VC sell less than FE. But it's a disaster there.
I nearly believed that HD consoles had more hardcore gamers and would buy more of these games.
But now it's clear to me that the Wii is the only console for JRPG to sell on.
They all flop badly on XB360, and the PS3 doesn't seem much better in the west.
I hope WKC does well, but now it's more and more likely it will be a failure.

QFT. Seriously people, why do you insist on this desperate crusade against the PS3? The PS3 has recieved no blockbuster JRPG this gen yet, the only thing it has gotten are SRPG, late port and Japan only released game that no one has ever heard of.

If WKC perform just as poorly as the above title, then you all have every right to be descend like a pack of jackals, because its a blockbuster release with high anticipation and if it bombs it DOES prove something.

Until then, comments like 'I guess the Playstation 3 really can't sell JRPGs' have no valid legs to stand on.

Because we don´t have others sales and VGC sales data are not always that accurate, especially with genres like SRPGs.

@Kas: Never played the original Tactics Ogre, but the N64 one (which Matsuno wasn´t involved) wasn´t good. Could be Tactics Ogre is even better than FFT, from all the good things I´ve heard. But all Matsuno games are 10/10, FFT is one of them.

Yet we have a wii srpg, a good one that sells well. We also see that the wii tales has sold more than the 360 version. Wii is going to be the rpg console this gen after the dq announcement. Where goes dq, goes the rpgs. Look how the ds turned out after the annoucement.
