For a limited release game Xenoblade has done pretty good! If they decide to keep pushing it through Christmas it could leg it out to 700-800 thousand copies!

North America:	0.20m	34.8%
+ Europe:	0.17m	30.0%
+ Japan:	0.16m	27.5%
+ Rest of the World:	0.04m	7.8%

For The Last Story, as usual I am not too happy with Europes lack of support. But I think that America will make the game proud. It should not get close to Xenoblade first week, but 100,000 should be in the bag for it. With Close to 200,000 lifetime or more in America I think. Around 500,000 is not that bad, but better than the 180 thousand they had in just Japan.

Pandora's tower is not looking too good. With around 10,000 copies sold in Europe, I doubt it will be that much more popular if it ever comes to America. I forget if it has been confirmed or not. Not to be rude, but I do not know why NoE is getting all of these games? Japan and America is where it is at if they want to sell copies!

Still I think that this will not be the end. If they would just multi release these games from the start then the hype could be all in one place instead of spread over months and years! Release in Japan, two weeks later Europe, and then America! Demos, and trailers on the eshop and upcoming WiiU eshop should help people get a better idea of these games. Great idea for the 3DS!

Europe:	0.01m	14.3%

Are people still calling Xenoblade a limited release? It's on its second shipment, with a third coming, and you can buy it at other locations that Nintendo and GS nowadays. Indy game stores and Walmart, are good examples.

And TLS will likely end within 15-20k of Xenoblade in the UK, due to how well it sells long-term (Xenoblade has sold nearly 30k in the EU this year). Both are looking strong to easily pass 500k, and Xenoblade could end anywhere between 750 and 1mil, dependinng on how word-of-mouth carries it (sales have increase 350% in EU since its launch in America). 

Pandora's Tower? Eh...not unexpected. It looks the worse, has the worst reviews and sold the worst in Japan. No surprise if it doesn't go to America, and if it does, no higher than 350k WW.
