Binary, the overall sales are the total of each region, which are each rounded separately. So the total can be as much as 14k off the mark.

The best JRPG i have played this gen by far.The story was awesome, and genuine , the only shortcoming is that while it is enemy's turn , you cant skip it to be a bit faster , but instead have to watch the entire moves , which can take up to 10 minutes in some battles.

other than that minor flaw the game is perfect.

Sega won't port it because Sony paid for the rights and both companies are now cooperating to get the most profit out of the franchise. Believe it or not but the showing of the anime is already having some positive effect sales wise.

I love this game.

You would think Sega would at least port it to the 360, especially since a lot of JRPG fans probably went with the 360 this time around. For such a niche title, it needs all the help saleswise it can get.

This game sold nearly double the amount of Disgaea 3, and is still the best selling RPG on the PS3. I guess not bad after all

This game is an SJRPG, a genre will rarely even reaches the 500k mark in terms of units sold. A long running series like Disgaea doesn't sell too hot but they also keep on coming.

With these sales I am almost certain a sequel is on it's way.

I think you grossly overestimate the costs with this game. The primary cost would be the engine but even the engine itself isn't very technical. Sure it cost some money but I don't think the worst case scenario is 600k to break even.

It took the cheap routes in some ways as it didn't have any advertising and wasn't localized for Europe.

Well taking into account they built the Canva engine from the ground up, and that it took them four years of delevopement for this game, add to that the level of polishing and the fact they hired renowned seyiuu to dub the main characters. We can estimate the developpment costs around 10-12 millions which means in the worst case scenario the game needs to sell 600K to break even.

But Sega might still sell its canvas engine and recoup all its costs just from that.

err, so, blade, your saying that Valkyria has better a combat system and gameplay, but deservs to sell less than Vesperia because its has weak visuals?

@outlaw

This games reviews aren't that far from vesperia's. 87% isn't that much greater than Vesperia's 83%. I'd say they're pretty much even review wise, seeing as how a lot of reviewers game them very close scores (i.e Gamespot giving them both an 8.5).

I think Valkyria has the superior combat system and gameplay, but Vesperia looks be better all-around.

I would have to say that one with better reviews and from people who have actually played both games have picked Valkyria.


And as someone who owns two copies of Vesperia, it's good but not this good.

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?

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.
