LoD didn't actually "bombed", even as it underperformed compared to what it aimed to be, so I'm guessing that's why it's not on this list.

I always felt like if LoD was called : "Final Fantasy:The legend of Dragoon" that game would have sold at least 4 millions copies

I agree with Brutal Legend. But to me Valkyria Chronicles is the number one underrated and undersold game of all time, such a masterpiece.

Don't know how you came to that conclusion, game has sold over 2m copies across 3 platforms. Considering how poorly most JRPGs sold during the 7th gen unless they had already made a name for themselves VC did amazingly for itself. Could have been a decent franchise had Sega not fucked everything up.

I bought and tried to play Beyond Good & Evil HD but it gave me a raging headache and made me feel sick. I never went back. I don't even like to think about that game.

Why are you mentioning Rise of the Tomb Raider? Pretty sure it's over 2 million in sales by now on Xbone,360 and PC. And in comes PS4. Will likely have above 3 million when all is said and done.

How about Shenmue? isnt it the most expensive game ever made (taking inflation in to account) and sold just over a million?
