Blue Dragon sold well over 200,000 units in its lifetime, and had a 50% attach ratio for quite some time. The 360 sold somewhere near 100,000 units in a month after BD launched. Considering what the 360 sold in that previous November, that was huge. But ultimately, there weren't a ton of uber-Japanese games to follow up on it, and the 360 sales have stagnated since. Lost Odyssey, despite the fact was much better recieved in the West, never got traction - and I seriously blame Microsoft marketing. There was a huge PR blitz for Blue Dragon, but nowhere near as much in the East for LO...That was the reason, IMO. Still though, LO has sold well over 100,000 units, and we don't know where it's at now. Definately won't reach BD in Japan, but it could sell 150,000. |
