Forums - Nintendo Discussion - *Prediction* NA/EU Xenoblade Chronicles X will be delayed into 2016

If it does i'm throwing my Wii U into a black hole.



Around the Network

I doubt there will be any delays for games. X is pretty much ready to go, and SF looks like it'll be ready for the holidays. There is little reason to delay X, aside from... business reasons?

They literally have zero heavy hitter titles this holiday season. You can guarantee that they won't delay X. I mean, c'mon, you realize that Xenoblade wasn't exactly a hit? I'm surprised a sequel even happened to begin with, or that they picked Xenoblade as the debut (and what seems likely to be the only) N3DS title. The sales numbers of Xenoblade were about the kind where Nintendo decides not to bother with a sequel.

Anybody who thinks Nintendo would delay this is vastly overestimating how much Nintendo expects this game to sell. It is not a system seller. Nintendo can release it whenever and get about the same sales. Holiday season is just the best time to maximize exposure while everybody is shopping for gifts.



 

I doubt it, the game is good to go. The December is date is already 'strategic'. Yoshi is already out in some territories and the other games aren't big enough to carry the holidays.



Nonsense

Possible.
Releasing right btw just cause 3 and hitman means it's pretty much dead on arrival.

Take into account Dec being Star Wars month and xbx has even less reason to sell.


But nintendo gamers don't play third party games. At least that's what I've been told. 



Then I'm gonna LOSE IT



delay a finished game? not happening

The worst of all is that Nintendo's management probably could think they can easily get away with that. Completely forgetting possible backlash on NX sales. Sony know they can't make a new handheld, but they never tought of dropping the PS3, while the situation wasn't as bad and turned around nicely, barely supporting the U isn't the way for Nintendo.


that system costed them billions and they are still not exactly recovered from it

It wouldn't be the first time.
