It wont. Blue dragon was suppossed to Save the 360 in japan and it didnt. Mostly becasue they were stupid enough to release it on the sameday as a gundam game for PS2. I doubt a Lower profile game could improve things much.

It might help a bit and by that I mean bumping the weekly sales up a few thousand for a while. Might not sound like much but anything helps.

It will help, but not that much.

I doubt it. Not even Blue Dragon helped it.

Debunked.

 

Eternal Sonata will spur x360 sales noticeably. Will this "Save" MS? No, not at all. Will it make it reach the level the PS3 has sunk to in the past couple weeks? unlikely, but possible. Blue Dragon did make quite a splash on the overall sales numbers in japan. 

Of course, "quite a splash" in a small pond (x360's performance in japan, not japan itself) is still a very small splash.

Well duh.  The 360 software actually outsold the PS3 software last week (ending of the 27th).  Forza 2 appeared at #16 on the top 50, while there was no PS3 game on the top 50.

But yea, i expect 360 sales to quadruple when it releases.Â
