Blue Dragon has an almost 45% attach rate in Japan. The console may have failed, but the game is doing absolutely fantastically on it.

umm... 45%.. for a console that has sold less the 500k is pathetic. And in a country that lives and breaths RPGs normally.

Pathetic, really? 45 % attach rate on a console that has sold less than 500k works out to roughly 200k units.

Here's a recent quote from ssj12 (yes, yourself) regarding software sales in Japan:

"for a console with a user base under 3 million in Japan, 100k is good. A user base under 1.5m with 100k sold is great."

 yea... but theres nearly NO chance of grewth to 1 million sales of a game on a console that will take another year to make it to a million in the country. The actual point to that statement was for the PS3 and Wii, as a game like Folklore might have sold less then 40k now and sells 1+k a week, come this holiday, RPG vs RPG, console vs console, Folklore has a greater chance of selling close or passing 1 million then Blue Dragon will in Japan. Its also a matter of the genre, most genres fail in Japan, mainly FPSs. Mystwalker being 360 exclusive = failure for all of it's games in Japan and as most RPG fans dont own 360s failure WW.
