I don't think it's a good comparison, Atelier Ryza is part of an established franchise (Atelier exists since 1997) and Blue Reflection is a more or less new IP (almost 8 years since the first game, less than a decade for now). While it's true that the marketing and word of mouth for the first Ryza game and its sequels (you know, ''thick thighs save lives'') were very aggressive and enthusiastic (unlike the Blue Reflection games), it's also true that, let's be honest, Atelier Ryza and the Atelier games in general have a bigger and more universal appeal compared to Blue Reflection...not everyone is going to be interested in a Role-Playing Game where most characters are female characters, with only Japanese voices, and especially magical girl, sure, they use the term ''reflector'' but a reflector is basically a magical girl, and that's the main thing that Blue Reflection ''did wrong'', magical girls are something more niche compared to a more standard fantasy RPG like the Atelier games...with the exception of the Sailor Moon franchise of course.

Yes, another unrelated picture.
