Wii U exclusive ‘Xenoblade Chronicles X’ debuts at No28 with sales up 73% on the launch week of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, which released on the Wii in 2011.


chart says splatoon is 28 while xenoblade is 34. something is wrong.

28 is combined formats, 34 is individual formats. Not great numbers for XCX. But what does this tell people that it debuted higher than Wii with a tiny fraction of the Wii install base? What it tells us is that install base doesn't always matter.


Hasn't Mario kart 8 already proved that? :P:P:P:P:P:P;P

It doesn't matter to an extent. MK Wii sold 30 million copies, that's just simply not possible in the WiiU (unless people like to buy 3 MK, but I doubt it :p). It doesn't matter if we're not talking about selling monsters, but big and important Nintendo franchises won't never sell the same.

No no no, friend. Nintendo UK said that Xeno X was the only "proper" JRPG comparable to Fallout. I hear "the most impressive open-world this year". On the French web, I hear every single day people telling me that Zesty is a shame and that Xeno X is a definite masterpiece. So it should sell accordingly. If it doesn't, it means it's just your average JRPG.

As a sidenote, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam bombed even harder (not even charting). Mario has become irrelevant in the UK. 


Ruyuzaki surprise me on time finally... ;)

 

Yeah one title, especially like this determines that...

Games like New super mario bros, Mario kart 7 ,a 3D MARIO defines Mario's relavance...

Yeah because we all know sales equal quality, that's why Fifa 2016 and Black ops 3 are the best games of the year and Wii sports the best game ever.

And yes, Tales of Zestiria is a shame. Its so obvious it hurts. It has nothing to do with its sales though.

Top 3 all ps4!!

Poor opening for Xenoblade. EU sales won't be that big. Up to America now.

Did Mario Kart 8 open higher than MK Wii? If so that IS impressive.

Poor or not poor... At least, It opened with 73%  more first week sales than those of XC on wii... Also we're in a thread about the UK only!

 

Won't be that big... Woah, what a surprise! You say  it  Like anyone was/is expecting them to be huge!

 

The aim is to outsell the first one which was on wii, with the hugely higher installbase...

 

VGC has first week europe's sales at 25k and LT at 200k! XCX sold 11k fw in the UK, very interesting to see the sales in the other european regions, those where wii u is in a better state, Germany and particularly France...

Wait, people were saying that the Uncharted sales are coming from the bundle. Is that true? Because last week, Black Friday, it was really high but Gears of War UE wasn't even in the Top 40. So is it just selling retail copies or is it actually bundled?
Also, Until Dawns is doing really well.


The Uncharted bundle includes a physical copy of the game. The Gears of War UE bundle includes a digital access to the game. VGchartz only count physical copies
