i can't believe valkyria chronicles didnt do well in the US, everyone is bumming over how there are no good JRPGS ever since FFXIII but apparently nobody even bought Valkyria Chronicles. This is one of the most solid JRPGs i've played in my entire life.

Even the first didn't do that well. I remember articles back in 2008 showing how poorly it sold when it launched (just 33K copies). I don't think sales really gained steam until they dropped the price.

According to vgchartz (which you can take with a grain of salt) the game hasn't even sold a million copies yet. It's sold about 640K in the US. Compared with the 2nd I guess you can say it did good though.

They actually sold as many copies after the price drop as launch, which is pretty unusual for a niche title.

It they did sold 640k (or even 300k) it would be a huge success as no one outside of Square Enix sold a million copies of any RPG. (Persona 3 and fes together sold 225k copies and it was a huge success for Atlus)
