The XenoBlade dropped is not worse than the BloodBorne dropped. 150k ----> 20k and 85k ----> 10k.
But of course, people say "DOOMED" for XenoBlade and succes for BloodBorne... seem legit...

 

Oh tolu..

1) Bloodborne's genre is less Japan oriented and it's a new IP as well.. the low sales are expected. For a game of its kind, it didn't perform that bad. Contrary to Xenoblade which is a proper JRPG and a sequel.

2) People did actually express disappointment in Bloodborne's second week in Japan, even though the drop was slightly less.

3) The overall sales determine whether a product is a failure, not the second week drop. Well.. Blooborne nearly doubled XCX's first couple of weeks.

4) PS4's instal base is smaller than Wii U's, isn't it?

5) Bloodborne's global success makes up for the weak performance in Japan. Hopefully Xenoblade turns out a success as well when it's released worldwide.

You forgot that Bloodborne had ship problems in the second week and Xenoblade X not!
