Nope. Only in Japan.

it didnt even really move systems over there either. M$ had to drop the price of the system and bundle the game with it to get systems sold. it kinda flopped sales wise in japan.

I don't think it will. I suspect it will be a decent game, but not extraordinary.

First of all, there have been tons of reviews out there already, and I think it's clear already that Blue Dragon is NOT "Awesome." It's a solid traditional JRPG. Secondly, No, it will not be a system seller in the US (it did give the 360 a healthy bump in Japan though, but that is an entirely different situation). It has nowhere near enough hype to accomplish that, especially when you consider the genre it's in. Not many JRPG are system sellers in America. Action and Action-Adventure games are what drives sales in the US (i.e. Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Zelda, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, etc.), in addition to Sports games and driving games.

If it didn't move systems in Japan, it won't move systems here atanytime.

Only the Diehard "OH MY GOD THE ORIGINAL CREATOR OF FF IS MAKING. IT WILL BE THE BOMB!" will think of it as something so great.

And the game isn't doing so hot as it is.

It won't move systems here, but it DID move systems in Japan, look at the weekly sales charts in Japan, and you'll see a noticeable bump when Blue Dragon released, and after it trails off, the weekly sales are still higher then they were before Blue Dragon.

No, it's being released in the shadow of Bioshock and Halo 3, which will be system sellers. (Halo 3 more so than Bioshock though)

Good game, I liked the demo, but I don't think it's going to move noticable numbers of consoles.

Maybe the classic FF fans will love it but I doubt it will be a system seller.

no, but the combination of blue dragon + eternal sonata + lost odyssey this year might convince some to buy the 360 for jrpgs. But i mean its not like they have any other choices, the ps3 only gets one rpg this year(folklore).

Blue Dragon enters chart at #9

According to the Chart Track all-formats chart for the week ending August 25, 2K's Bioshock is number one in sales.

With this strong start, Bioshock becomes the second fastest-selling Xbox 360 title, just behind Gears of War.

Activision's Transformers: The Game, which had been at number one since the beginning of August, dropped to the second position.

Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training and More Brain Training with Dr. Kawashima for the DS took third and fourth place, with Wii Play dropping from number two to number five on the chart.

Rounding out the top ten were Pokemon Diamond, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Surf's Up, Blue Dragon, and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2.

As with Bioshock, Blue Dragon is a new release for the Xbox 360. The only other new release this week is THQ's Moto GP '07 at number 33.

Ghost Recon: AW2 has re-entered the charts on the basis of the release of the PS3 and PSP versions.

Number 9 after being out 1 day thats kind of crazy. I went to pick this game up today at Walmart and they didn't have it then i went to 3 other video games places in my city didn't have it either so it must be doing something sells wise. Aww yeah this is my second most wanted 360 games this year behind Mass Effect. Its good to be a PS360 owner.
