GameSpot: Thank you for taking the time to talk with us. Let's start with Blue Dragon. The game has been out for a little while now in Japan. Are you personally satisfied with how development turned out?

Hironobu Sakaguchi: I was satisfied with the initial goal that we set for Blue Dragon, which was 100,000 units in Japan, but now it's on the road to sell through the 200,000-unit mark. So I'm highly satisfied with the sales, and it has proven to be one of the key platform drivers in the Japanese market. So I feel that our objective has been accomplished.

That crap sold less than 30k, it flop in sales and in ratings.SuperMouse1986

wat you say level 2 this game is at 89% at game rankings and famitsu gave it 37/40.

I keep seeing people make the claim that Xbox fanboys don't like JRPGS.

One thing you should never do is listen to what people here in SW claim.

What do sales matter? Microsoft's paying Mistwalker to pump out these quality titles, so the only one losing out on this is Microsoft... not Mistwalker, and not the gamers.
