Not many JRPG's are as good as XCX as I've been told. Also the Wii sold over 100 million consoles . . . But I do understand one of the reason's for the game's poor sales was because its supply was crap and it was exclusive to Gamestop.

Well that is for NoA (wat hurt sales), but thats still doesn't mean it had awful sales. Being one of the best jrpg =/= suppose to have best sales (look at Persona+Fire Emblem). User base also doesn't necessarily matteras Jrpg is a niche genre only having Pokemon+FF+KH with Competitive sales figures againsnt other big games.

Actually isnt Tales of Franchise the 4th or 5th biggest JRPG franchise? (has to be in the top 10 at least). Thats a well established franchise and that barely hits 600k-700k per entry.

Overall Xenoblade Chronicles did extremely well if anything, especially in NoA where most of its sales came from and a game that was one of the most expensive games to get. (used copies going for $100-$200 with people actually buying it!) 

I checked some other games and you make a good point. Awful was probably too harsh of a word. I still don't think it sold that well, but I do understand there are reasons for that.
