Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Prediction: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Be A Bigger System Seller Than MK8/SSBU (in Japan)

Let's hope it turns like you hope for and hopping JRPG games will flourish when it happens. But in my prediction XCX does not have a hype like SSB or Mario Kart and this:

and don't forget SSBU and Mario Kart 8 have bigger market target while XCX is for teens and above and JRPG lover (while i agree most Japanese gamers like Jrpg but there are some non Japanese Wii U owners live in Japan)

Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii only sold 0.16m in Japan.


Cool.

If you think good games bombing is cool, here's hoping Xenoblade Chronicles X can't break 100k.



I can definitely see XCX being really big in Japan, especially with that nice Wii U bundle.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

So wait were going by Weekly % increase?? If so then sure, the announcement of this bundle will likely frop the WiiU sales by a bit until it releases. Can totally see it plus other factors bringing WiiU sales up 215% week on week. I mean thats still like only going to be 12.5k or so, likely less.

Wii was the number one console at that time and it's still get a small sales , and just thinking how small Wii U sales now it make even worse for XCX to out sales SSBU and MK8  (even the game will have a hard time achieving good sales number).

Ya doesn't seem like Japan care too much for the Xenoblade series.



Xenoblade was closer to 190k on Wii actually.

The game had a fantastic life on the second hand market, it actually sold more used copies than new ones, had a great word of mouth and was a fan favorite.

Really, the only thing stopping XenoX to do well its the WiiU.

Yeah i guess we can blame Wii U for that. But the point is,  it will be difficult for XCX  out selling  SSBU and MK8 sales.

You are missing the point. Tbone isn't saying it will sell better.
