Valkyria Chronicles 3 not planned for North America, Europe

[Demon_Skeith]

Sega isn't planning to localize PSP strategy RPG Valkyria Chronicles 3: Unrecorded Chronicles for North America or Europe. Gamespot confirmed the news in a recent interview with Sega's executive in charge of console sales, Hiroshi Seno. Sega suggests the PSP isn't popular enough in Western markets, and that Valkyria Chronicles 2 didn't sell well enough to justify localization.

Asked if VC3 would be available as a downloadable Vita title, Seno said the publisher would discuss it with Sony. Valkyria Chronicles 3 sold 102,779 units during its launch week, the strongest debut yet for the series.

Listen, if Sega wants to skip bringing VC3 overseas and diverts that budget into funding a console game like the original Valkyria Chronicles, we're all for that. At least, that's what we'll be telling ourselves for a while.

God... dammit...

I thought the VC II game sold well. eh, as long as they make another PS3 game AND bring it here I'm fine with this.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

If they make a new PS3 game, screw this one. I just want another PS3 one.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

they should never have left the PS3, the first game is good as it's art.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

I don't see why they changed it anyway... PS3 sells more...

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I imagine it takes awhile to make a game like that on PS3. But I hope they change their minds, I really want to play this one.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Well... Bleh. If consumers are their, I expect it to come. First one sold quite a bit here.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

but apparently the second didn't, and that's because they threw it on the damn PSP.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Exactly, cause the PSP is a dying breed here.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

then they went and made the huge mistake of making 3 on the PSP before waiting to see how the 2nd one did.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

That's because SEGA is dumb. lol They can't make good marketing decisions.

That's really bad for their franchise... D: No more Valkyria! I suppose they'd cut out the rest of the series too!

I don't think there that stupid. Vakyria still has a future.
