why not just say every jrpg on PS3 is way better than xbox 360 period. You can't win against PS3 fanboys in every site these days. ever!

Its much better to say Valkyria Chronicles has outsold Blue Dragon.

Thats why.


I think its much better to quit posting asinine comments to earn VG$.

Asinine, how? That's what the thread is about isn't it?


I'm sorry, you're right. The PS3 deserves praise. I mean an acclaimed JRPG on a console that's popular in Japan sold better than a shitty JRPG for a console that's unpopular in Japan. This is news totally worth starting a thread over and defending.

Yet this thread seems to have touched a nerve of yours.

Its totally worth complaining because 1 game outsold another.


I'm not complaining about VC outselling Blue Dragon. Frankly I'm glad it did. It's just stupid to praise it.

My complaint is why does this thread even exist?

lol!

The problem with what you're saying is that you think the PS3 is popular in Japan!

Compared to the 360, I would say considerably so.

well....you posted in it......you posted in it ALOT


Well people respond to me. It would be rude to not respond back.

I'm trying to avoid huge over quoting complications here.

But, a sales forum will have many threads when competing games pass on another. This is even moreso for a game that has a large following on VGC.

It's an interesting case as VC was not in the least bit hyped and had a pitiful advertising budget. It got where it is now via word of mouth because it's a quality product.

In Japan at least BD was hyped by MS like crazy. It had a massive PR campaign on the same scale as the big Square Enix games, and was the next big thing from Sakaguchi. MS thoroughly intended it to be the 360's equivalent to Dragon Quest.

Since blue dragon is awful, that is a good thing. Even though I haven't played VC. It just can't be as bad as BD.
