Nope. Xenoblade wont sell more Wii U's. At least outside Japan.
The only JRPG that is that big is Final Fantasy. And that happens to be another 'not on Wii U' game.
I hope Xenoblade X sells more than one million copys. Just dont expect it to move a major amount of consoles outside Japan.
After 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros there is actually one known system seller left. That's Zelda. That's 2016 now.
All 2015 games are somwhere between niche and sells quite good but not a major console seller.
As long as Nintendo does not manage to reduce the hardware cost (major hardware revision) there will as well be no price cut.
4 million in 2015 is way to optimistic right now. 3 million units seems realistic, 3.5 million at the very best. |

Both Handheld and one only in Japan so far. Tell me just one other JRPG that sold home consoles in the west. Especially a new IP. It's even hard to say right now how small or big Xenoblade X is in Japan right now. But it seems like every home console RPG it is much smaller than Yokai Watch.
