Still doesn't make sense why they would sacrifice some 200k potential sales for the few copies shipped to gain some "collector's value".
At least I know I'll never part with my copy. (Been thinking of donating 1 copy to my local library if I ever find another one, they have the last story constantly rented, I want more people to play Xenoblade.)

No it doesn't, but Reggie hates JRPG's. He was pushed into localizing XenoBlade because of GameStop/EB Games.
If I knew it would be discontinued I'd have bought 10-20 copies new and held onto them. If they are selling for $120 new, that's a $70 profit each, which is a $700-$1,400 now if I sold them all, and even more if I wait.
I know if Nintendo localizes any more Popular JRPG's, I'm going to keep an eye on stock. If they are discontinued, I'll stock up.

I pretty sure he said that he loved Golden Sun.

He also likes Paper Mario, but anything developed by a studio that isn't Nintendo, Reggie hates, and blocks from entering North America. Even if it's wholely owned by Nintendo (Monolith - XenoBlade/Soma Bringer), or Nintendo has the rights to the game because it published it in Japan (MistWalker - The Last Story/ASH).
Question is why did he block Fire Emblem: Hero's of Light and Shadow and Earthbound 2?
If I were CEO I'd see anything well recieved in Japan get localized here, and push for a release within 6 months of the Japanese game.

I don't want to wait a year for "X". I really don't.

I think the fans/reviews/sales have made it clear that XenoBlade is an excellent, well franchise now, and I don't think Nintendo wants any bad media with major franchises not being localized. While the game might take up to a year to be localized like most of Nintendo's JRPG's (with the exclusion on Paper Mario and the upcoming Pokemon), at least this time we will know it's comming, instead of just hoping and praying.
