The Last Story sold more than games as Blue Dragon that released in a region with a userbase of 300K...Oh yes The Last Story must be a succes..>_>

It has yet to be proven that userbase does anything to boost sales of a game.

Then you should have been here when Blue Dragon released on X360....A time when you still could post on the charts;....And yes a lot of comments about 'if it was on Wii (and off course) it would have sold a lot more;.. 

But that is not the main point;..The point is that it was X360...A console that has a hard time in Japan...Even multiplatform games have a hard time selling well....So coming with 'Sales of TLS are not bad because it did better than Mistwalker's Blue Dragon makes TLS sales look rather sad than okay..'.

Quite the opposite. xbox 360 sales in Japan ar sales to very hardcore people, who likes what Xbox was made for in Japan (like Blue Dragon). Much of Wii userbase there is just because of Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Taiko, NSMBW or anyway totally different IPs than TLS. Actually TLS was made for Wii in order to increase its JRPG userbase, but it looks like it pushed only 5-10k. Still, 150k is not that good, but it's not shitty, right now it's difficult to sell games in Japan, especially if they have many western elements...for a news IP 200k LTD is good; not for a new Nintendo IP though.
