washimul said: the day BLUE DRAGON came out 26000 x360s were sold............GUNDAM MUSOU is coming out in BUnDLES as well as sole copies. If BD could fetch 20+k units in JAPAN why wouldnt MUSOU ftech 100k ps3s................after all PLAYSTATION brand is much more powerful than xbox. no it would hit 100k hardware sales in the 1st week. You are talking about ps3 not the defuct x360. NOTE :- VF5 never featured in the FAMITSU list of top 10 games.

Firstly - there were a lot LESS 360's around when Blue Dragon came out. Secondly, (I believe) it was the first major JRPG for the 360 released. So it attracts new customers - most of which don't have a 360. Also don't forget - manufacturing PS3's still isn't trivial or plentiful - there might be a lot of them around, but these WON'T be the bundle ones. Its not just a question of comparing brand names - look at the market situation as well. I don't think there is any chance PS3 sales will hit 100k - only FinalFantasy (and a few other) games have that sort of pulling power. For a $1000 console. ..and VF may never have been in the top 10 wanted - but Blue Dragon was - #1 if I remember correctly!!
