From a page or two back:
There's a lot more that went into this decision, though. Even setting aside possible lack of justification for a second console release, making VC2 and 3 for the PSP made sense in Japan. The PSP had, and still has, comically higher penetration than the PS3 did and does. A PSP Valkyria was always going to reach more consumers in Japan than a PS3 game ever would. The fact that a PSP game requires a lower budget anyway is just icing on the cake.
This same decision, however, made it a terrible fit for the American market which simply doesn't care about handhelds as much. It's a problem the industry has been wrestling with for over half a decade now.

A ticket please.
im sorry im going slow. im getting sleepy;
but i shall keep delivering the tanks. Maybe we get to a 4th.
Count me in!
Time for me to head off to bed, see you guys on the other side of release!
This has been a long time coming. I'm glad that it is both a success for Sega, going off the potential sales numbers, and for consumers, all accounts seem to point to a very solid port.

Meanwhile, for sales hype: VC is still 4th... but it overtook Binding of Issac Rebirth. The only reason it's still in 4th is because Five Nights at Freddy's swooped in today to take the #2 spot.
So it reiterate: VC is currently holding its own against Call of Duty, tomorrow's Assassin's Creed release, and the sequel to the most memetically famous comedy-horror game in recent memory. It has beaten every other comer, including the best-selling version of Football Manager ever, a hugely anticipated update to a beloved indie darling roguelike, and a goddamn Civilization game.
Not too bad for a six-year-old strategy title with the occasional dose of desu.
And yes, I can reaffirm that it's revenue-based. Just looking at these charts, I have some idea of how it must be selling. Sega is going to be, at the very least, Satisfied with these results. I look forward to what the future holds.

Due to my original source being slightly misinformed; the campaign has played a smaller role as regards Valkyria Chronicles' port than originally believed. I've since verified with multiple sources from within SEGA. I may write up a more complete post within the petition thread... but I need to see what I can and cannot say.
Actually the VF5 FS port petition played a role in that game coming to consoles
Indeed. =) Edited the third line because....Because.
I am pleasantly surprised at how strong this game's performance seems to be. It's contending respectably with titles that I otherwise wouldn't have guessed. Everyone really is stepping it up. Since the word of mouth was so positive, I knew that there were a handful of people who had always been on the fence and would bite with some pushing, but this is remarkable.

Educate me, senpai--what anime is this? I'm laughing over here.This version looks so god damn good when you shoot that resolution up. Holy crap.
That first part of your post is a bit shocking, from my point of view. But I understand your position and need to wait.
Nope

So who is this Selvaria character and why does she have a shit ton of fanart and take a huge amount of box art real estate?
One of the main antagonists in the title.

One of the antagonists. Play, and... you'll understand.
Clearly that show went stranger places than I ever anticipated, given the source material.

It definitely won't stay this high up on the charts after a week, but, if it sits in the bottom half for that amount of time, then wow.

44 minutes til the 11th. The wait is too far away.
I already have this game on ps3, and have it preloaded on Steam. And I listened to the soundtrack all day. Am I doing it right?

Let me put it this way: if it can remain in the top 10 all week, then it is guaranteed to blow its PS3 debut period out of the water, both in terms of copies sold & revenue generated. It sold 33k in North America back in 2008 when it debuted; I already feel confident in saying it's outdone that in volume, and is probably already on its way to outdoing the PS3 release window period in volume.
