I don't really get why Mistwalker chose to go 360 exclusive this gen (on consoles). At the time they announced Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, the 360 was doing awful in Japan and there was no proof of JRPG's selling well on the system in the west. They could've made some hits on the PS3/Wii and even better, on PSP or DS.

Blue Dragon's attach rate was even more impressive, I think it was 200k copies sold on a userbase of ~600k.

I was waiting for this day! CONGRATULATIONS VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!

I wanted to make this thread anyway now HD JRPGS Top 5 has changed

WELL DONE VALKYRIA

PARTY TIME

Top 3 best-selling HD jrpgs

1 Final fantasy XIII(ps3)

2 Valkyria Chronicles(ps3)

3 Lost Odyssey(xbox 360)

How recent is the 130k figure?

It seems like VGC always overtracks the RPG's...

Evidently, Microsoft helped set them up in exchange for exclusivity.  Microsoft also completely funded the games, promoted/published the games and co-owns the IPs.  And Blue Dragon was announced before 360 even released iirc.

Last NPD recent.  It's obscenely overtracked on VGC.

Wait, so VGChartz has VC on 480,000 in US and NPD has it on 130,000????
That's a major difference!

One of them must be seriously wrong, so I say I won't trust either.
Well, at least not until SEGA releases official numbers (if they ever do that)

first of all
NPD is from jan 2009 A YEAR OLD
130,000 in jan 2009 VC sales picked up since april nothing wrong
