(The delay was announced the 27th, the pre order charts are for the 28th)

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.

It's not a patch though as that is something that fixes problems with a game and this is something that you only download to speed up load times

I'm going to go with 200k fw in the US

USA FW predictions? Hmmm that's a tough one. Xenoblade Chronicles sold 140K first week in the states. It had a much higher install base then, but it was also fairly unknown at release (correct me if I'm wrong). XCX has a lot more pre release attention, but the install base is much lower. IMO, the hype factor overrides the lower install base.
I think it will be ~200K FW USA.

Xenoblade for Wii was all but stealth released :P .  If you weren't an avid reader of reviews or in on Operation Rainfall, you wouldn't have known it happened.  And the game was also GameStop exclusive, which doesn't appear to be the case this time.  So yeah, XCX has a lot more going for it prerelease, install base aside.  I am confident XCX will outsell XC, especially given the online connectivity that could entice friends to pick it up after one person buys it. 

As for these charts, it showing up is a good sign, but tracking preorders this long before release at these lower numbers is often a crap shoot.



Your first mistake was taking the pre-order charts seriously.



I just preordered it
