The game is on the top 40 with around 12K pre-orders by the end of March without a date release. It´s something! Do you think that the game will sell fine on the US?

Xenoblade 3D and its 'rivalry' with Final Fantasy can only help.

Yes, those 2 factors can make some difference. I hope.

I only pre-order once digital pre-orders are available.

And expecially since this game will be better digital. Considering how niche this game may or may not be, I wouldnt' be surprised if a good number of those planning on purchasing this game "the more gamer aware" than the average gamer that the pre-order numbers are going to be very quite misleading since most will want the download advantages.

Digital sales may be higher than many other games on the system because of that. But we are talking about a 23 Gb game on a WiiU... Most people would buy the retail version and download the 8 GB patch.

#40 without a release date (or even any localized trailers), that is pretty good freaking news. Seems to be a lot of anticipation for this game!

This numbers are nothing...
Maybe have less pre orders, maybe more...

Any way, i predict 80,000 first week in the US, 100,000 with a bundle.

Less than 50k

Four Wii U games on the chart at once? This is unheard of.

Wii U unD00Med!

btw, still in the list as X, not Xenoblade Cronicles X? That's pretty much a year low that we know the correct title for the game. But that also explains why there where never any preorder numbers for Xenoblade Cronicles X when requested.
