Engine: Previously the article indicated that the Renderware engine was in use. However, an interview with the lead game designer Hironobu Sakaguchi indicated that the engine was in fact one created in house by the developer.
Article edited appropriately.
An odd figure thrown in there of "90,000 additional Xbox360 sold the same day." (linked to the pre-sales of Blue Dragon in Japan).
I suspect this is marketing FUD as Japanese sales charts show around 1500 XBox360 sold per week on average, and a sharp rise after Blue Dragon announcement to around 3,500 in one week, (which is now dropped back).
It is possible that the post is talking about pre-orders, or sales other than in Japan, but at the moment it seems like a misleading statement thrown in an unrelated paragraph to create the impression of Blue Dragon causing the 360 to be widely successful.
I have therefore removed the sentence, until somebody can give a reference that backs up this claim

A similar sentence was added to the bottom of the Reception section: "Best selling 360 game in Japan." This sentence is practically nonsensical even if it is somehow true, and I have removed it. - Tzepish 21:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio
I believe it's the other way around. That site copied from here. Since the site still has the [1] "end of this year in Japan. [1]", seems like they just copy-pasted from Wikipedia. --Zeno McDohl (talk) 05:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it seems that way. www.bluedragon-360.net also does not appear to be affiliated with the creators/copyright holders of the game. Note the 404 error upon accessing the site's contact page. - Cyrus XIII 10:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with your assessment, especially after mentioning the [1]. As that site has the same content as the Wikipedia article and is a one-page website with no particularly useful or referenced info, I removed it from the external links. EvilReborn 13:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Release Dates
Where have these US and Europe release dates come from? All google produces is a rumour stemming from Gamestop, so they shouldn't be added as concrete. Tell me I've missed something, or they'll have to go. Philtrauferson 18:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I think they're placeholders. MS hasn't announced anything. Tehw1k1 22:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
They did, today. August for the US and September for Europe. I won't edit the article 'cause I'm not in the mood to look for the source, but check IGN, I think I read it there --SatoshiMiwa 19:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
