It's not commonplace to see an Xbox game selling enough to become Platinum Hits in Japan, but look! Blue Dragon is now a Platinum Hits! Looks like the plan is moving fordward!

Here are the new Platinum Hits for Japan! Congratulate them! They did the impossible!

Lost Planet: Capcom, 3,800 yen

Project Silpheed: Square Enix, 2,800 yen

Chikyuu Boueigun 3: D3 Publisher, 2,800 ye

Oneechanbara Vortex: D3 Publisher, 2,800 yen

Dead or Alive 4: Tecmo, 2,800 yen

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2: Tecmo, 2,800 yen

Blue Dragon: Microsoft, 2,800 yen

Gears of War: Microsoft, 2,800 yen

In addition to these, Microsoft is bundling two of the 360's biggest hits in one package. Set for release on 11/1, the Dead Rising/Gears of War Platinum Double Pack will retail for 5,240 yen with tax. Dead Rising was previously re-released as part of the third set of budget titles this past June.

Looks like Microsoft is at least improving in Japan. It's not out of the battle yet.

How much does a game have to sell in Japan to be a platinum hit?

Gladly, Gamespot's review doesn't affect sales. See Spiderman 3 for reference.
