I don't think the comparisons with Blue Dragon really do TLS any favors.

The Wii userbase is actually 50 times larger than the 360 was when Blue Dragon launched.  Blue Dragon also boosted hardware sales from 4,460 to 37,821.  Userbase doesn't mean as much when they get larger, but the 360 base was so tiny you really couldn't have expected much better for Blue Dragon.

It also had pretty decent legs throughout the holiday season, so it'll be fairly tough for TLS to beat its total sales.


Or it could be that the appeal of these games really is that small. Look at the sales of new IP RPGs in Japan, and it bears that out.


Appeal doesn't equal sales.  A lot of games appeal to me, but I didn't buy them for a # of reasons (ie. lack of time, doesn't own the console that they are released on, etc).  I'm sure that the appeal of this game is much greater than the what the sales #'s reflect.  TLS appeals to me, but I don't own a Wii.  So I may not end up getting it.
