You could probably call Motorstorm and Virtua Fighter 5 flops, but I don't think you could say the same thing about Gundam Musou. It may not have sold a million copies or anything, but it moved quite a few copies.

I guess it depends on perspective.

NamcoBandai wanted to sell at least 500,000 copies of Gundam Musou. It sold 250k.

Microsoft wanted to sell at least 200,000 copies of Blue Dragon. It has sold about 180k.


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).


You're posting complete LIES as fact larry, what are you trying to acheive?

 

   Microsoft23966 

Blue Dragon    Microsoft    23    966    186,073

That is the latest numbers from this site for the sales of this game, and I believe Media Create and Famitsu are very close to this... where are you getting 130K from?

I don't think anyone doubts that the 360 doesn't sell well in Japan?

Can you not see the irony in your post? Lets look at the install bases for PS3 and 360 in Japan at the moment...

PS3 - 910,000
360 - 390,000

Sales of Blue Dragon which you are bagging - 186,000
Sales of Gundam Musou which is a resounding success in your eyes (yet a flop in everyone elses INCLUDING the developers) - 271,000

So... if the game ever sold at levels ANYWHERE near the levels of those that Blue Dragon did on 360 then they should have sold AT LEAST 630,000 copies of Musou to be JUST as successful as the phenomenal failure of Blue Dragon, when in fact, from a user-base perspective Musuo has sold 1/3 of the volume of Blue Dragon.

Of course this is skewed but for a country that was so heavily dominated by Sony over the last two generations to be THIS CLOSE to 360 in their mother land at this stage is terrible.

And then stating the Mist Walker made massive losses on their 360 project? And Capcom lost money with Lost Planet? Which has sold excellent in the US and Europe? You're a complete and utter troll.

larry why do you not comment back to the people that say that Mist Walker is MS funded? Because it hurts your deluded argument?

Now STOP lying - I wonder if you will respond to my post? Probably not cause I just schooled you.
