| Mummelmann said: I think Hyrule Warriors will sell quite well in Japan but struggle to get past the million mark globally. X is a complete toss-up, but even Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii's gigantic installed base failed to sell one million so there's just about zero(!) chance that this will ever come close to a million, even half a million will prove most difficult. 300-350k perhaps? I honestly don't know. |
While I do agree that X is not going to sell more than a million, Xenoblade on Wii would have sold a lot more if NoA hadn't killed it's chances of doing great in the US.
Xenoblade was released in Japan in June 2010, and there were no plans of releasing it in the US for a long time, and by the time it was released almost 2 years later it had been pirated over a million times. It was one of the most pirated games of 2011. And Nintendo didn't print enough copies either.
