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. Below is a complete list of the top 50 selling games for the Xbox 360 in Japan. Notice the steep drop-off in numbers after number two. 01. Blue Dragon - 203,740 02. Dead or Alive 4 - 108,618 03. Ace Combat 6 - 83,045 04. Halo 3 - 82,987 05. Ridge Racer 6 - 73,501 06.
