So far, Blue Dragon remains the top seller game for the 360 in Japan at 201k units. We've seen a good Tales game, it stalled at 160k. New IP's from Square Enix have sold a meagre 130k.

Blue Dragon launched in Japan two years ago, yet the moderately increased userbase hasn't helped any game into beating the mark set by Mistwalker's first effort.

Does Star Ocean 4 stand a chance at all?

I will say yes but not much. (about 230k)

No. Blue Dragon was a bigger deal than we realized back then. Were it released with the 360's current install base in Japan, it would've probably doubled the sales. Of course the catch 22 is that, without BD, the 360 wouldn't have near the install base in Japan it currently does ...

I doubt it, I predict star ocean to get sales of 145k just watch.

arnd 200k..( 150 low end/240 high end)

I think it can and probably will. Its a high profile game there, and there is a larger userbase.

Hopefully, Blue Dragon was woefully mediocre.

I'm with you on this one.

My god, it better.

Japan, probably not. World Wide, easily, I mean come on; Infinite Undiscovery and TLR are already set to pass it soon. But we're talking Japan here....hmm...it'd be tough. Possible yes, probable.....maybe.
