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.
