because it's stupid to ask whether LO or VC will reach 600k first?

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Then... who will reach first 1 mln.,
VC or LO?

LO has 250k advantage.
And VC sales increase by a lot with PS3 HW increase.

VC won't ever hit a million. LO might, but probably not.

Also, people need to define "first". VC will hit 600k before SO4 360 in realtime, but SO4 360 will hit 600k faster than VC did (and at a higher asp).

Oh, yes, it will. Only 445k is needed. With average 5k per week VC will reach 1 mln. in around 90 weeks or in mid 2011. But with 2 Christmas boosts it can reach 1 mln. by the end of 2010.

As i said above, VC sales increase with PS3 HW sales, because VC is a must have game for RPG fans.

Star Ocean usually nets around 500k-600k in Japan alone.  SO4 came in at an immediate disadvantage being a 360 game there, and sales have proven that out.

Also, considering VC was hyped up in Japan as the new game from the Sakura Taisen team (a series which managed 500-600k in Japan alone on Saturn, and even 300k+ on the lowly Dreamcast), it's sales aren't exactly an unprecedented success.  If anything, it's been somewhat disappointing given it's AAA pedigree and huge upfront push, only managing decent sales over time in the bargain bins and with an anime tie-in.  Not great to be honest, Sega clearly expected better which is probably why the sequel got moved to PSP.

It won't sell 5k indefinitely, JP sales will dry up when the year ends (it'll probably get a small uptick around VC2's launch though) and western shipments have already stopped all together.  The game bombed upfront and got a decent push after it was price collapsed/bargain binned, but Sega's not really replenishing supply anywhere but Japan, and it's not going to move another 450k there.  It's basically done, 150k more at most from here on out lifetime.
