Blue Dragon:Number 4 In Japan This Week

"Following its major showing at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft and Mistwalker's first joint game, Blue Dragon, is off to a good start in Japan. Mistwalker's Blue Dragon secured a place as the number four best selling game for the week, having sold 80,348 units.

Blue Dragon is only the second Xbox 360 game to make the top 10 Japanese charts, selling nearly twice as many units as Tecmo's Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Given the number of new Xbox 360s sold in the recent week, 35,343, Mistwalker's game appears to have compelled many new users to buy an Xbox 360 solely for the RPG itself."

This is hopefully the start of the Xbox 360 being accepted in Japan. It has got off to the worse start possible, with almost no games that look to interest the Japanese public, but now it seems to be selling a bit better than usual with the release of Blue Dragon.
