Xbox 360 getting another Japanese RPG?

While the Xbox 360 has been experiencing slow sales in Japan, Microsoft is apparently preparing additional role-playing games to make a comeback in the country's market. In this week's issue of Famitsu, Enterbrain president Hirokazu Hamamura revealed there will soon be an announcement regarding an RPG for the Xbox 360 that "can sell 500,000 copies if it were released on the PlayStation 2."

Hamamura did not elaborate on details, though his comment seems to suggest that the game will be a known brand with a past sales achievement, rather than an original title. So far, the Xbox 360 has two RPGs in development, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Both RPGs are major projects led by former Square producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, but they are original titles.
