Xbox360 All Time BestSeller in Japan Posted by XanTium | January 29 10:50 EST

Xbox-France.com published Famitsu's top10 list of the best selling Xbox 360 games since the launch in December 2005. 1. Blue Dragon (Microsoft) : 135.240 2. Dead or Alive 4 (Tecmo) : 103.307 3. Ridge Racer 6 (Bandai Namco) : 72.129 4. DOA Xtreme 2 (Tecmo) : 57.060 5. Dead Rising  (Capcom) : 49.978 6. Lost Planet (Capcom) : 44.854 7. Ninety Nine Nights (Microsoft) : 38.019 8. Rumble Roses XX (Konami) : 29.187 9. Perfect Dark Zero (Microsoft) : 26.085 10. Project Gotham Racing 3 (Microsoft) : 25.058 Note: Only 135k Blue Dragon's sold ... I doubt that's gonna pay back much of the development costs. Luckily the game is also planned for the western market somewhere this summer.

I could have sworn I have read somewhere of Gears of War selling out at places and sales of over 30 000 copies.

I really dont understand this TOP sell list....
Gear of Wars is on TOP Chart in Japan...And dont appear in this one!!

I agree. The first thing that popped into my mind when reading this list was "huh, where is GoW?!?!". Surely GoW must be in top10 even there.

GoW was released January 18th 2007 in Japan.
This top list is probably only till dec 31th 2006 or so.

I think Elastikman's complaint is that XS has gotten a little investor focused lately..  Interesting for some, boring for others.  I'm on the fence for that one..

Dead Rising sales are nothing short of criminal. Japanese gamers have lost all of my respect by now...

exactly what I figured....

Okay, would somebody explain this to me then... Why are there some 360 exclusive titles in Japan that are region locked (that will never be localized to other regions)? If the flagship titles sell this poorly, I can't imagine smaller titles are raking in the cash. So why stop the rest of the world from importing?

I lost respect for them years ago, their loss though right?

Agreed.

[TheIrishLad]

I bet the numbers are a lot higher now for Blue Dragon then they were a month ago, but that is still pretty weak, I mean, Ridge Race 6 is third...I think that speaks for itself.

[Mr Invader]

PGR3 is 10th. and RR6 is 3rd...............

Something is wrong with their minds.

edit: i've come to a conclusion, that Bandai Namco is one of the worst developing company around. It's best games recently were Ridge Racer and Mobile Suit Gundam... anyone agree?

Agreed.

I laugh when I see ridge racer is high in sales while many many others arent even on the list and should be. I understand its all subjective but come on, ridge racer? They need to pull their heads out of their asses, and soon.
