Blue Dragon is the number one selling Xbox 360 title of all-time in Japan. Not surprisingly, not even the numbers for the best selling title are all that impressive as the game has only sold 203,740 according to reports from Famitsu. More info and the top 50 Xbox 360 games of all-time after the jump: 

Blue Dragon’s sales numbers are nearly double that of the next highest selling game, Dead or Alive 4. It doesn’t appear that anything can really make the 360 more attractive to Japanese gamers as Blue Dragon is about as Japanese a game as they get. Of course we’re not including the wacky games like Beautiful Katamari which cater to the more niche type of gamer in Japan. While some will argue that the population of gamers in Japan isn’t as great as in North America, there is no method of spinning or excuses that can cover up the poor numbers for the Xbox 360 in the Pacific. We can only hope that at some point Japanese gamers give the fun console a chance and stop shunning it simply because it’s from America.

It should be noted however that the new title Lost Odyssey has already moved up the list to the number twelve spot.
