Was Xenoblade's release in Europe preparation for it's American release?

NoA has determined that such games will not sell. Unfortunately the European sales suggest they are right.

Actually the opposite. The game was more or less sold out everywhere for 3 weeks after its release.

While that may be true the numbers are still vastly underwhelming.  EU sales might crawl up to over 100k but so what?  That won't change NoA minds.   And sadly some of those 100k EU sales are importers (myself included) who likely wouldn't get an NA version now.  

My advice... mod your Wii and import.  Encourage NoE to continue down this path.
