So does Microsoft own Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey?

With so many rpg's coming to PS3 and FFXIII putting up big numbers, I hope they go PS3/360.

Good Point.  In Japan, 2/3 of Bayonetta's sales were the PS3 version.



i'd love a Blue Dragon 2 RPG for X360 and also I would love a Blue Dragon adventure game in the form similar to Zelda or any of the Team ico games for X360 too.

LO2 would also be cool and needs to have have much prettier characters this time!

This is precisely why staying 360-exclusive would make the most sense strategically for Mistwalker. On the 360, Lost Odyssey 2 would be huge (1 million+ easy) because there is no real competiton on the 360 in the exclusive jrpg department any more. Ninety-Nine Nights is the only upcoming 360 exclusive jrpg I can think of. The rest are multi-plats and even those are drying up. Every jrpg fan who owns a 360 is going to buy Lost Odyssey 2 unless they didn't like the first one. On the PS3, Mistwalker would be forced to release a new IP (since MS owns Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon) and they'd have to compete with the sharks in PS3's red ocean waters (Versus XIII and others). On the 360, it'll be like a Blue Ocean for Mistwalker. Yeah there are still people buying the old 360 jrpgs but since those games are old, they aren't going to cut into Mistwalker's market share much. Lost Odyssey could be to Final Fantasy what Forza is to GT or Killzone is to Halo. Mistwalker already ventured into jrpg-heavy territory (DS) and their DS games saw really low sales. That's what happens when you compete on a platform where everyone and their grandmother is releasing a jrpg.

It's similar to what people have been saying about Dante's Inferno. It's going to be overshadowed by God of War no doubt. If it was 360 exclusive instead, it would have it's own seperate identity instead of being seen as the opening act for God of War 3.



Hopefully it isn't a JRPG
