Why did ni no kuni and xenoblade go so bad in japan, compared to the west?

Well, for the first part, the thread is after all about sales XD. The bolded part is smething I also said in my previous post, but at least xenoblade was given the title as best jrpg in years by wery many. Don't you think that a few might have tried to get back into the genre when these games came out?

That would be the obvious response and the interest is there - demand is there however I dont think (at least in Xenoblade's case) supply isnt.

Ni No Kuni is too early to say (in the west) however in Japan it wont go up any more than it is now.

I doubt there is supply for xenoblade still, it's been 3 years since it launced. 

Yeah that is what I am saying XD

I think people will more than likely wait for digital Wii copies on the Wii-U, a potential multiplat release on the 3DS/Wii-U HD or just emulate it on the Dolphin/pirate it on the Modified Wiis.

Half off-topic statement: Xenoblade was pirated around 1 mill. times in the us. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457318
