Except Pandora's tower, those wii games could have been out already. there would have been NO Problem to release at least one of them this month. Of course localization takes time, but look at square-enix. FFXIII was released not even 4 Months later in Europe and NA. where would have been the problem to release Xenoblade on May 2011, a year after the japanese release?

Nintendo has been lazy, and now they are scared of upcoming competition.

Oh and i think they could also throw them in Jan-Feb2012, even if there is competition, it isnt nearly as much as it will be this holiday season.

Xenoblade released in June in Japan. The game releases August 19 in EU. So really just a year and 2 months, not that big of a difference from what you proposed (a year later). Who knows what NoA will do though. TLS is actually in 2012 though.

yupp but i think 2 months are making a difference here., this is just my opinion, but for me, the buy of Xeno is much more likely if i actually have the time to finish it before the other AAA titles come out.

 

@eco system;

And another wild guess of me; i think this fits many Wii Games, but i think people who are actually well informed about Xeno, and would like to buy this game, are actually those, who look at games that are coming for PS360 too. not everyone of course, but i think that people who intend to buy TLS/PT/XC do not have to be those who buy Just Dance 3 and dont care about what other systems do.

i dont say Xenoblade is doomed in europe because it has to compete with other games (even if its pretty likely that Europe wont be the place were this game sells like hot cake.. no matter the date)  but i think it will end up loosing at least 'some' momentum because of the other Blockbuster titles. (People interrested in it will get it sooner or .. later.. i guess, but for the games industry, sooner is always better.)
