@ Rainbird

If sales can reach 400k, then it wouldn't be too hard to imagine that they shipped 500k. When that happens, then we get Platinum, Greatest Hits, etc.

Personally, I don't think VC will be discontinued, because I think Sony needs to have good exclusive games on the PS3, so I think it will be platinum'ed before it gets discontinued.
Plus, platinum'ing VC would only strengthen Sony's relationship to SEGA.

Everyone I know who has a PS3 *WANTS* this game. But people are being cautious in these poor economic times. and $70 for a game is a lot.

I think it's time SONY realized that $60 is the sweet spot for a game.

And it'd help if it had trophy support, what is the hold up?

@Montana
The story is somewhat vapid at the very begining, but once you're past chapter 5 it takes off. The Gameplay however becomes gradually more intense and soon you're fighting some very epic and long battles.

Check out this guy Brad reactions while playing (nothing too revealing so you won't be spoiled), at first he was like meh... but now it's actually one of his favourite games.

This is a great game. Sadly, it's sales are the same as Eternal Sonata's and Tales of Vesperia. The only thing these three titles have in common are the cell shaded graphics. Even though the graphics in all 3 games are very good, and look great on an HDTV...it seems most gamers are rejecting this art style in this generation of games (well on the 360 and ps3 anyways). It's sad too, cause all 3 games have good stories, and are fun to play.

@Welkin: "The game is appreciated and many persons would like to buy it but Sega didn't translate the game for the Europeans (subtitles). It is pity, sales would have been much stronger. :/"

Oh God, sometimes I really hate living in Europe. Here in Sweden we don't get the games translated or dubbed to Swedish, except when it comes to games for children and casual games (and then, not all games anyway, especially not Nintendo's). Are we complaning about that? Hell no. So stop complaning and learn to deal with the english language instead. If it wasn't for the fact that alsmost all games in Europe must be translated to german, spanish, italian, french and so on we would get the games much, much faster. Espeically roleplaying games.

Ps. This is not pointed to any one here, just in general. So no hard feelings :) Ds.

Another one. Having stats and levels is NOT being RPG(Or do you think, that games like Blade of Darkness are RPG?). Of course there is no RPG system in VC, VC is tactical game.

>there is not much place for some tactic.

It's an okay game .. but not as good as some people try to make it look.

- The story is terrible and cliched all around.
- RPG system is pretty much non-existant, you dont chose any skills or stats, instead you level your units up in a linear way.
- maps are pretty small and characters lack the ability to climb/crouch/lay down(only in the grass)/take cover using walls or anything. And so there is not much place for some tactic.
- skirmishes are the same maps you play in the story mode, there is little challenge in the game, it is pretty simple and you always know what to do since maps are so small and linear.
- art design is interesting but graphics are meh. Physics engine doesnt work properly.

I dont regret buying the game, but I would had not if not all the hype around it.

What hype? This game has no hype, look at the damn sales. Base on how good the game is, its sales should be well over 1 million already.

A great start for the PS3's exclusive jRPG list. The budget of the game is supposedly really small too btw, about 1/3 of what Lost Odyssey cost (from neogaf). So they should be near even now.

this is a Tactical RPG. You cant compare this to a Infinite Undiscovery, or tales of vesperia. There's a big difference in popularity between these two genres. Especially in the EU and US.

Valkyria is selling well for a niche game, without any marketing campaign behind it. It'll get 300k sales for sure and hopefully 500k on the long run.

Yeah, it has a good chance. It is still selling almost 2k a week in Japan. Will take some time to reach FE though.

Anyone think this has a chance of passing Fire Emblem?

Expected better sales in Japan tbh. It might get a boost with MGS 4 boosting HW and SW in June

110k in Japan - not bad ...

Hopefully it'll break 500k world-wide!

it´s doing just good. PS3 base is small, this game isn´t famous. with the release in europe and american could reach the 500k mark.

@ Onna

Some people doesn't understand that with niche genres, userbase size doesn't matter. It's those hardcore fans who buy all the SRPGs.

The fact that a new ip has a chance at passing a well known series (Fire Emblem) and become the high selling SRPG (Japan only, this gen) in Japan is amazing.

@Superion, you're joking right, this game would have bombed if it would have released on the WII for sure. Unless you would have released it on the PS2, but better sales than these you wouldn't have got.

Normally my name would stand here with owning the game, but I'd rather wait until the US version, which hopefully will release "soon"! The fact that this game is selling so good, shows how big of RPG fans PS3 owners are in Japan. This game is a sign of that people want to have these kind of games.

Scratch that. FE sold 170k. It will be the 2nd best selling then.

Hmm, I didn't think about it, but this could be the highest selling SRPG of this generation in Japan.

FE sold 150k I Believe.

It was marketed very well in Japan. The problem is the platform.

it'd be pretty funny if this game turned out to be a killer app for the ps3 in Japan. But based on the initial shipments i'm pretty sure this things only going to sell at about the same rate as disgaea 3.

sad that shipment is only 100k in its first week .. this could sell very well in japan with the right marketing ... it will be a good game with poor sales I think.

Sad really, they reward us for supporting the franchise by taking it away to the PSP to make cheaper more Japanese orientated games. At least release it digitally and add tropies!
