Wow!

That's incredible.

Only huge franchises like FF, MGS and RE are above Blue Dragon, that's an amazing achievement for Mistwalker and Microsoft. Considering that RE5 should also come out on Xbox 360 then there's more than a hope now for MS to succeed in the utterly unpredictable Japanese Market.

I can't wait for this game. I really hope that it lives up to my expectations.

Chrono Trigger is still, in my opinion, the best game ever made.

**Fedos** · 10-23-2006

Might as well put me on the list of Blue Dragon heads. I was already sold on the game because it was coming from Sakaguchi and Uematsu, but there were things in the latest trailer that made me go

I hope Microsoft localizes this game quicker than usual, which is a possibility with them, considering Lost Odyssey is getting a world wide release. The quicker the better in my view. Spring would be just awesome.

Yah I am pretty confident this game will be awesome, but for me I would rather have Twilight Princess more. I am just a sucker for Zelda games. In the end great news for MS in Japan.

I just can't get into turn based games.

**chopchopyep** · 10-23-2006

1. (1 / 1) Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Square Enix 1.675
2. (2 / 2) Biohazard 5 PS3 Capcom 1.256
3. (3 / 3) Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 Konami 1.145

Most wanted in numbers, the numbers on the right are the votes.

MS is taking little bites of the Japanese market. A little at a time. They will do better in time.

**Sankari** · 10-23-2006

As much as I would like to believe that, how many billions it will take for them to achieve that if Blue Dragon or Lost odyssey won't succeed? If these 2 games won't sell systems, nothing will. Outside Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 ofcourse.

**furby** · 10-23-2006

thats awesome, i really want to play Blue Dragon

I hope microsoft do good this time round with games like Blue dragon they might have a chance as for Lost Odyssey I can't say to much on that game it look like standard RPG.

based on this list, japan only wants boobs and dragons from the 360 (not together

)

**bluvi69** · 10-24-2006

woow, awesome news, and RE 5 also on x360, and the other next gen games on the list, still long way to be released, compare to Blue dragon

so for nextgen games on that list especially for 2006, then Blue dragon is the first.
