Highest selling 360 jrpg in Japan: Blue Dragon 0.21m in Japan (just under 20% X360 attach rate)
Highest selling PS3 jrpg in Japan: White Knight Chronicles 0.35m in Japan (just under 10% PS3 attach rate)
Blue Dragon sold 60% of what White Knight Chronicles sold on a console with 30% of the PS3's install base at best. Yep, that's a total commercial failure. Final Fantasy XIII will have like monster sales and attach rate but that's freakin Final Fantasy. Duh. After it was first released, Blue Dragon's attach rate was something like 45% btw. It did amazingly well. If 210,000 isn't good enough, then what is when the highest selling hd jrpg is only at 350,000? Final Fantasy excluded, hd jrpgs are clearly pretty niche in Japan. You can't measure the success of Blue Dragon to Final Fantasy. It's not fair to measure any other hd jrpg to that standard, White Knight Chronicles included.
