"Hey guys, I think Monolith is 1st Party"

It may crawl to a million. I'm sure that the first would have a good chance if not for NoA's silly publishing of it. I'm also fairly sure that the type of gamer to buy Xenoblade, a niche JRPG late in the Wii life cycle, are probably in that small "core" Nintendo fanbase who have indeed bought the Wii U already, so the audience should be mostly retained. Goes without saying that the Wii U hasn't sold to the casual audience, but it should also go without saying that neither did Xenoblade Chronicles.
I think that this is one of the few games that actually has a solid chance of selling just as well on the Wii U as it did on the Wii.
