I disagree. Lost Odyssey was a complete disaster in Japan, selling barely 100,000 copies in total. For such a high-profile game with such a huge budget you can really only class that as a complete tank. It did okay in its first week, but sales absolutely plummeted after that. Blue Dragon sold twice as many copies by comparison, and that was produced much faster and with a much lower budget. The Western success of the title was a lucky escape for them, I think. I'm sure Mistwalker must be absolutely disappointed with their homeland performance. Hmm… I disagree. Lost Odyssey was a complete disaster in Japan, selling barely 100,000 copies in total.
