Valkyria Chronicles sequel not coming to the Playstation 3

Valkyria Chronicles sequel not coming to the Playstation 3

From the announcement that the sequel to the Playstation 3 tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles will be on the PSP:

Valkyria Chronicles is a genuine hidden gem on PS3™. It was one of the PS3's most highly rated tactical RPG games so we're delighted to offer PSP system owners to play Valkyria Chronicles 2. It's one of our most cherished franchises so we hope the fans will welcome this exclusive sequel.
I speak PR. "Geniune hidden gem" means that it got good reviews but too few of you people actually bought it. I'm not sure what Sega expected by only making it available on the PS3, but there it is. Furthermore, the press release calls Valkyria Chronicles "one of the most highly reviewed tactical RPGs ever to appear on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system", which is as true as it is meaningless, since tactical RPGs are almost entirely the domain of the Playstation 2.

The PSP sequel will be out next summer. It takes place in a civil war twenty years after the original storyline.

As the epic drama unfolds in the game, players will experience stories of friendship, love and growing pains during a time of war and revolution.
Growing pains? Look, Sega, I have a hard enough time convincing people this is a serious tactical RPG with a really cool phased-turn battle system. You're not helping me when you make it sound like Judy Blume wrote the storyline.
