im thinking this will outsell blue dragon

It will sell atleast as well as Blue Dragon did in Japan. This game is generating a lot of hype and demand from Japanese gamers, even from the ones that can't afford a 360.

 

....But will hype and demand get owners to buy a Xbox 360 for Tales? The Xbox 360 still has a pretty small userbase - 640,000-odd users. Getting users to buy a system for 1 game is no easy task. Hopefully, MS and Namco can get more of the ToV bundles out there, as it seems that it certainly has/had the potential to sell nearly as many units in a week or two, than the X360 has sold all year.

 

 

I think the Japanese aren't really buying it just for Tales-- they are buying it now because Tales is on its way very very soon. I think they are also buyin it for infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, and the eventual Star Ocean IV. Thats 4 games, which used to be a fairly common attach rate, at least so I've heard.

Japan love their JRPGs so of course they would buy a 360 to buy the RPG onslot that is about to come
