People just need to accept the fact that this is undertracked. It made it to both first and third (regular and collector editions) on the France chart. It's pretty much a mathematical impossibility for it to have only gotten a small shipment for that region for that type of chart placement.

mathmatical impossibility rofl, no. Chart placings mean nothing. It scored number 3 on UK charts and only did 6,600 units, so 2 places high on the french chart means it's a mathmatical impossibility to do 30k overall in EMEAA? I don't think so.

You need to accept the fact it did what it did.


The French market is about 2/3 the size of the UK market. 1st place in the UK was 33k. And France is much more JRPG-centric than pretty much any other western nation.

You can't assume that the first place in France and the first place sales in UK are comparable numbers.  Look at the disparity between first and second in the UK (33,000 and 8,000), Zumba Fitness is obviously an abirration.  All you can say from France's rankings is that Xenoblade did better than OoT did that week in France which could mean a range of different numbers but does not directly correlate with 33,000 that Zumba got in the UK.
