It's at page 3 for my region top sellers. Looking at the global page, it's at #22, which is considerably better, but not good for a week old game. I'm pretty sure Metal Gear Survive, for instance, had way better legs than this. And it did not do well.
Oh never really looked into VC4 so I didn't know tbh. Still feel like nobody really knew the game was on XB1.
I agree, specially because UK and Europe in general -with the exception of France- is a weak market for Nintendo in comparison to US and Japan.
As someone did note, the PC version hasn't slipped quite as far as I thought. It's at #22 currently on Steam on the global chart. That isn't actually good, mind you, for a week old game, but it does represent a slow trickle of sales. Still, 20-50k on PC to date is very weak. VC is a relatively high profile series that has earned solid reviews and has a good PC port, and I was expecting something in the range of 100-200k, not somewhere between 20 and 50k. The player peak numbers are pretty soft, too.
We're talking about UK here. Do you understand how big is difference between PS4 and Switch userbases?
I don't meant those titles. I meant titles more like VC4. All DMC games are on Xbox, all the Souls games are, RE games are also on xbox etc. Tales of Vesperia even was a 360 exclusive in the West :D
Sure, but should we support it:
In terms of the Nintendo eshop, it's only #19 in NA, and #25 in Japan. With regards to the Japan eshop, the original Valkyria Chronicles is actually #7 right now (helps that it's around 2000 yen), which is kind of funny. All in all, the digital sales seem poor; I suspect physical will end up being similar, and I guess we'll see how the Japan numbers are with the upcoming Media Create thread.
It's not nearly as good as it should be, considering the quality of the game, but it should also be noted that the regional pricing is really high everywhere, which means that all of those really are full price sales.
So how does that explain the high Switch sales? The series has never been on a Nintendo console before. Your point doesn't really make sense tbh.
If it's not an indie or a small release then PS4 selling better is usually given, double that when it's a top one like FIFA.
The difference between the two games is absolutely fascinating.
I highly doubt Namco and SEGA will drop Xbox One support when it comes to porting games. Valkyria Revolution of all games probably selling in the hundreds should've scared them off but clearly they find it a worthy enough platform to keep targeting. I for one am super happy everyone can enjoy a masterpiece like Valkyria Chronicles 4.
Plus what rodjer said, all the upcoming bandai games are coming to Xbox too. It's actually getting nearly all the Japanese games Sony is getting, save for persona, yakuza, and a few other niche games.
Although after seeing sales numbers, they may not be getting them for long. Time will tell.
Fully agreed. I am certain SEGA's happy with it overall. It seems to be a sensibly made game on a light budget and I can see it being ported to many future platforms.
Yeah it's weird to see some people trying to pass this around as if it was said by many, when Switch software selling well is usually with indies titles and first party software in relation to past entries.
They had esteemed and very well made game Valkyria Revolution! That's probably why it performed extra poorly >.<
