Well, XenoBlade Chronicles is due in 3 weeks, and VGC seem to indicated week 1 sales could be in the 200-250k range for XenoBlade on the Wii. However despite this XSEED is localizing The Last Story (and not Nintendo) despite The Last Story being the better selling game in Japan.

Currently XenoBlade Chronicles is at 350k sales (making it the 8th best selling Wii RPG) with 160k in Japan, 160k in Europe, and 30K Elsewhere.
The Last Story is at 230k sales, with 180k in Japan, 40k in Europe, and 10k Elsewhere.

However it's important to note that The Last Story is only three weeks old in Europe, and in comarision to XenoBlade it's sales are 80% as strong for those three weeks.

Now the question is, will Nintendo localize Pandora's Tower with sales being significantly less in Japan. Pandora's Tower being the newest of the 3 games has still only managed 70k sales in Japan. It has a European release date of April 13th, but assuming sales hold about half as good as XenoBlade/The Last Story, will Nintendo localize it?

I really hope they do, but I don't think sales will be too strong. Even if Americas sales did end up as strong as Japan and EMEAA combined, it's still only 100-150k of sales, and Nintendo has turned down so many Japanese exclusives.

What about Earth Seeker and Fatal Frame 2?
