larry said: Blue Dragon sold around 132k till date. It was put at no 2 by Famitsu and it was also projected to sell as big as FF13. Mistwalker couldnot recover the high production cost of Blue Dragon. Gundam musou was a 5 million dollar project. so around 300k is just more than enough for the BANDAI to recover the cost+ make some money( in excess of some millions). |
Sorry, larry, but you're wrong.

And BandaiNamco was very displeased with the sales, thus changing their plans to develop for the PS3:
