Eh. Darkness has done well overall, but since its multi-port, it might of generally hurt X360 sales of the game. It's on the top 5 MGC tags list, so I can assume it's doing decently worldwide.
GH2 is just phenominal on X360. Considering it's basically a PS2 port + DLC shows that the game isn't catering to a supposed hardcore basis, but an actual midlecore audience. It really isn't slowing down, either. At 30k/wk, its a phenominal beast. Even Rainbow Six Vegas ( a very strong seller) hasn't been able to post those kinds of legs. Expect GH2 to hit atleast 1.5m.
Trusty Bell hasn't done "horrible". No one expected Blue Dragon numbers. It had a great first week, but suffered the typical JPRG drop. However, in it's 3rd and 4th weeks, it's done decent. It'll atleast get 70k, but could do quite a bit more....Remember, Blue Dragon did 50% of it's sales its first 4 weeks, but afterwards, was a top-5 game since it debuted. As far as Namco is concerned, I have this sinking feeling they used the IdolM@ster engine, and made the game on the cheap. Either way, it'll hit RR6 numbers.
Blue Dragon won't hit DOA3 numbers, but to be fair, DOA3 had alot more going for it. Sales of the Xbox were very very strong at the beginning, and DOA3 had a FAR better attach ratio than any other game at launch. Plus the fact is, the Xbox sold 180k units in it's first 5 weeks - alot of people picked up DOA3 in the beginning, whereas Blue Dragon launched with a mere 175,000 X360s in cycle in Japan. Very very good numbers considering everything. If Japan had a similar US hardware sales ratio, Blue Dragon would be at 3,000,000 units sold (not including software tier ratios).....Even better than the US sales of Gears of War.
Oblivion? Who knows. Supposedly preorders are more than TB. I expect 100k LTD.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
