Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, famous for being the creator of the Final Fantasy series, Blue Dragon, an epic RPG, is expected to sell at least 200,000 according to Japanese retailers, who believe that is Microsoft’s goal. Blue Dragon is one of the most highly anticipated games in Japan, and has won an award at the Tokyo Game Show. This would have to lead to the sales of the Xbox 360 console itself to rise, as there are only 200,000 consoles sold in Japan.

Blue Dragon pre-order bundles have helped console sales in Japan to rise. Similarly to Gears of War, Microsoft is pitting Blue Dragon to be its system seller game for a while in Japan.
