Probably shipped 300k to Japan. That's probably how far it'll get there.

Judging by first week sales for the 360 version it's looking to me like another 500k will be shipped there.

But in Europe I doubt this title will have any kinda of good sales at all. But if they can get that 200k shipment out then we have ourselves a 1 million seller.

Can it?  It most certainly can.  But will it?  Ah ... that is the question.

Me thinks ... it can at least ship 1 million, which is all that matters, really.

I think Blue Dragon has a better chance of selling 500k in Europe then in NA.

If anything I would say

US - 400k

Europe - 500k

I think Blue Dragon will get lost in the crowd this holiday season. It may come close, but the game won't reach 1M in worldwide sales until after it gets a 'greatest hits' price drop next year.

Maybe, but I think it will fall short, somewhere in the 700,000-900,000 range.

Hmm I hope they do, alot if still unknown about the game, because the developers were told to keep quiet.

Im guessing a huge performance at tokyo game show, and if not MS has lost its mind.

We saw they gave a huge demonstation last year, i wont how big it will be this year

And after that, as long as its recieved well by its presentation, MS should advertise the crap out of it. Already it looks stunning, but they need to show something new and unexpected,..... comon sakaguchi!

So far, the game fares as I thought.
The more time passes, the more what I thought about XB360 owners tastes, preferences and appraisal of games happens to be true.
I don't think it will be a million seller, even though it was hyped like a multi-million seller game.
People go as far as comparing it to Dragon Quest and say it's better. The mind boggles...

i wudnt say so...

I think it will be over a million worlwide by the end of the year.

US=400k

EUR=400k

JA=250k

ookaze, to be fair........America has never liked JRPGs.

Quick: name the highest selling JRPGs in the US.

No JRPG has sold over 500k copies in the US outside of post-FF7 Final Fantasies, and Pokemon. Outside of those, nothing has done better.

Trust me, the numbers are staggeringly apalling for JRPGs in the US. Dragon Quest rarely sells over 500k in the US, and within 6mo of debuting, was a bargin basement game on the PS2 (it's $19.99 now).

The SNES years were abysmal. The US never, ever bought the greatest games of all time. Super Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, Earthbound, Final Fantasies, Breath of Fire, and Dragon Quests never did good at all, despite the near-15m userbase of the SNES in the US.

How was this true? Square and Enix, et all, had to sell their games @ a much higher price to break even half of the time. Why do you think we never got Terrangamia?

I really wouldn't aruge that BD was hyped to be an uber-seller. Lost Odyssey is far more than BD. Everyone just assumed since it had Sakaguchi and Uematsu in the game, it'd magically do fantastic numbers. But the fact is, JRPGs outside of FF and Pokemon haven't done well in the US. Chrono Trigger sold a measly 200k copies in the USA.
