Blue Dragon reigns over Enterbrain’s Lifetime Xbox 360 software sales
When you realize that Blue Dragon was created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama, Nobuo Uematsu, you know you’ve got a winner. Apparently, Japan thinks so too, based on Enterbain’s recently published lifetime software sales for the Microsoft Xbox 360 for the period starting on 2005 ending this December 9, 2007. More details are available in the full article.
When you’ve got an RPG created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama, Nobuo Uematsu, you know you’ve got a winner. And Japan thinks so too, based on Enterbain’s recently published lifetime software sales for the Microsoft Xbox 360 for the period starting on 2005, and ending this December 9, 2007.
The publisher’s survey sees Mistwalker‘s Blue Dragon topping the charts at 203,740 sales since its release a little more than a year ago on December 7. It’s followed by Tecmo‘s Dead or Alive 4, and in third place is Namco’s Ace Combat 6. Bungie Studio’s Halo 3 is at fourth place.
