Blue Dragon to save 360 in Japan?

November 27, 2006

As you know, the 360 has been a pretty big flop in Japan so far. It was obvious, that most of the games on the 360 will not appeal to the people over there… that is, until Blue Dragon came along. It’s about two weeks till the release of the game over there, and it is second on Famitsu’s most wanted list (beating titles such as Resident Evil 5, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Twilight Princess). Blue Dragon is also being released as a bundle pack there (see picture [url=http://image1.play-asia.com/640/PA.75870.001.jpg]here[/url] and another here [url=http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/10/bluedragon360.jpg]here[/url], courtesy of Playasia.com and Gizmondo). It is only a matter of weeks till we see how the first killer app (by Japanese standards) does. Can Blue Dragon save the 360 from falling into Oblivion? We shall have to wait and see. Meanwhile, discuss your thoughts in our forums!
