Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Xenoblade Chronciles Facing Stock Shortages

Retailer ShopTo has claimed their stock for Xenoblade Chronicles probably won't meet demand.

JRPG fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of Xenoblade Chronicles as quite often JRPG games don't make it over to Europe. This is not the case with Xenoblade Chronicles, due out tomorrow, but getting your hands on a copy may not be too easy as it seems stock levels will be lower than demanded.

Online retailer ShopTo has tweeted to let customers know that "the publisher has experienced great stock shortages of this title", meaning that some fans could be quite disappointed. According to their tweet there has been "unexpected late demand" of the title and it seems not enough copies were made. No other retailers have addressed the issue at the moment but a few of our readers have spoken to their local stores and it seems stock levels may well be low across the board.

We're sure that if this is the case Nintendo will quickly rectify it but if you really want to get your hands on the game tomorrow be sure to get to your local retailer early. If you're still undecided about whether or not to purchase Xenoblade Chronicles be sure to check out Aaron's review.

Hey, NOA, this enough incentive to get off your ass and publish the game in NA?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

A big part of why demand wasn't met are all the importers. So no, not enough :P

There better still be cheap copies by holidays time!



does anybody know how many units were shipped to EU?



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

I was told today that my order would not be filled. Luckily i had also pre-ordered it from Amazon UK and that shipped today, but now i have to wait because it has to be shipped from UK to Norway

Amazon UK despatched my copy a few hours ago. This is great news, especially considering the game I think already has a decent sized shipment (38k for France alone I think I read somewhere).




^C'est fantastique? Yeah I'll go with that,
I should have a copy by x-mas.



Nintendo of America is probably hitting their heads on a pole somewhere right now

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
