Valkyria Chronicles sales increase 400% in April, reveals importance of price cut
71
Joystiq.com writes: Perhaps the old adage "better late than never" applies well here. Valkyria Chronicles, Sega's PS3 exclusive SRPG, earned heaps of critical praise, but never garnered sales worthy of its caliber. Six months after the game's release, Sega is reporting a 400% sales increase in April (versus March), with a sellthrough that nearly matches what the game had during its original release.

So basically they doubled their sales on this game, by chopping the price in half they sold 4 times as much. Maybe other games will follow in it's footsteps.

Bought this game day 1 it was out and I don't regret it for a second. It is truly a GREAT RPG with an awesome story.
I hope this makes Sega want to make a #2 since they also now are making a anime on this game in Japan.

I wish games would simply RELEASE at a lower price point than the $60 average. $40-$50 PS3/360 would have people a lot less foogle with which games they pickup, people will take more risk and buy more games then everybody wins.

Every now and then a truly fun and interesting game comes along. While PS3 has had a few already. I must say that Valkyria Chronicles is my favorite so far.
Paid $59.99 plus tax for it and it is worth every penny.

I loved this game. Granted i was late to the party, but after hearing about it so much for a while i ended up picking it up at a discounted price at walmart one night and wow am i glad i did. this game was amazing. great fun, the story was very good. just all around great. the only thing is: i do still harbor a lil resentment towards this game because (and i'll fess up to it) the bastards made me cry. i hated them for that lol. i won't give away any spoilers just in case, but for those that played it, they know what i'm talking about.

Easily one of my favorite games this console generation.
I just downloaded the two new DLC missions; I am now back to playing this game again. "The Edy Detachment" was okay, but I really like the "Behind Her Blue Flame" mission.

And beautiful to boot Uni. It's a blissful experience among so many other angry and brutal games centred on warfare-how did they manage this one? That artstyle? The beach break? IDK! Great game though and completely surprised me.
A great achievement and hopefully it's improved sales will wash that Madworld sales failure taste out of Sega's mouth and propel Kenzan! and Yak3 over here sharpish!Not that Madworld deserved poor aeles, it didn't, but y'know what I mean.

I'm still trying to destroy the Bantomys!!! My lancers can't shoot in enough of a straight line to take out the side guns so my scouts get picked off trying to grenade the exhaust ports... I know I know, a poor workman blames his tools! ;)
Brilliant experience though, and it makes me want to keep trying. Who says that a game sells the most in it's first week?

Sadly, its too early :D. This is a game where the DLC doesnt feel like nickel and dime tactic. So, I'd very glad to see more dlc coming.
BTW, Sega+Tri Ace could bring us another awesome rpg. I hope the best for RoF.

If I could give awards for the most misleading demos the VC one would win by a frikkin mile-followed by Sonic Unleashed (coincidentally another Sega game)where they tried to fool everyone into thinking that it was a new , real Sonic and didn't give any hint of the awful Werehog stuff that makes up 90% of the damn game. They took the opposite approach with VC and tried to make a great, intruguing game look boring as hell. Strange chaps at Sega.
