no one can stop valkyria in america she is so powerful

Well, except the almighty adjustment.  We could (and probably should) suddenly see VC under 500k worldwide.

130k NPD is just too big a discrepancy to ignore...

LO had a significant downward adjustment here from what I've been told.  

Valkyria doesn't actually have "legs" according to NPD, and most big brand stores aren't even restocking in the US anymore at this point (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Toys R Us, etc).  It's moved only 55k this entire year according to NPD, and that's with 2 pricedrops.

For now.  Wait for the adjustment...

I loved Lost Odyssey for it's story telling and VO. Very emotional stuff. Gameplay was a bit dated though. I have yet to play VK. Will play it after I complete MGS4 (which is soooo overrated by the 9/10-10/10 crowd).
