I was under the impression that Farming Simulators sell well, especially in Germany.

And in Germany they're meant to be massive sellers if I recall correctly.

Germans love simulators

It's at 5th place on Steam for me (probably region specific):

More good words:

Quote
The PC port of Valkyria Chronicles is a no-frills affair, but it delivers all the most essential qualities which should be expected on PC, including arbitrary resolution and framerate support. Its lack of graphics options is easily forgiven taking into account that the quality of all effects scales with resolution, and the artistic intent of its renderer which is inherently less customizable than the average photo-realistic affair. Commendably, it also performs amazingly very well even on modest hardware.

Here in the UK we've got the game at the second position. Looks like a strong week one debut is in store.

I almost forgot my Steam password and everything. I haven't used my steam account since I used to play Counter Strike elsewhere. Good times.

It's nice to hear that most of the feedback on the technical side of the pc port is good.

Now the question is..will this be any incentive for a sequel for just PC? VC PSP titles used the CANVAS engine in its basic form...and i can't see it being more expensive to use for PC development..in many way's it's cheaper in the long run and overall.

Prehaps this is the better option for this title and others instead of going on console...

8am EST, ~30 minutes to unpack the game. Too bad I'll be leaving for work by then.

I agree that PC the best option if any, but see little reason to stop there if the PC sales are decent enough. XB1 and PS4 could/should later get a trilogy pack considering their architectures aren't too far off. X360 ports would be great as well, but probably aren't worth it this late in its lifetime (I'd still buy them).

Its to do with the money for the consoles...Sega doesn't pay much for PC development and licensing compared to MS Sony and Nintendo. Which is why Sega has gone all out on digital and PC compared to their console offerings. They're beginning to do PC and Digital /handheld multiformat game releases with the upcoming RPG THE WORLD END ECLIPSE.
I'm wondering if SOJ has started to push towards PC as a main central platform more after seeing the sales of PC with Sega West side of things. VC is actually SOJ most succesful re release since YAKUZA PS2 and SAMMY PACHISLOT COLLECTION in japan.
Second to FOOTBALL MANAGER 2015 a big gun in the UK which is the third biggest market in the games industry and where the bulk of Sega's western sales come from. That is nothing to look over. Be intresting to se the US performance of VC under steam..
