Yup. I think so. I believe Nintendo will publicize good this game during this holidays.
Reggie already said he's opinion, and he believe this game will help the Wii U. The last time that Reggie said so, was with Splatoon. People call him crazy...
And at the end...
XenoBlade is a niche game compared to Splatoon ( a shooter) That's true.
Even BloodBorne is a niche game, and it sold 1 million in just 2 weeks thanks a very good marketing.
But BloodBorne is on PS4, a console with the HUGE sales... ok, but so? We already see how can sell a Wii U game even if is a Wii U game.
You guys seriusly underestimate the attach rate of those games.
MARIO KART 8 HAS 85% ATTACH RATE IN FRANCE. OVER 50% AND MORE CLOSE TO 55% GLOBALLY.
Mario Kart is Mario Kart after all... indeed, i don't predict 50% attach rate for XenoBlade.
The Wii U is currently over 10 million sold in, and will increase by end of year of course. XenoBlade should sell good even with only 8 / 10 % attach rate...
And now, is time to talk about Bayonetta 2.
This game even if is one of the best game of this gen so far has bombed hard on Wii U, the reason? 0 ( ZERO ) marketing.
I already said that, with a good marketing even a niche game can sell very good.
First important difference, XenoBlade got a bundle this holidays.
And generally... i just believe in Nintendo.
He think XenoBlade will help Wii U? Let's trust them.
I'm a Nintendo fan? Sure... maybe is this the main reason of why i believe in Nintendo... But that is.
Any prediction? Usually i'm very precise... this time i will go with a very fast: OVER 1 MILLION. Dunno how much more.
Maybe this game will even sell 3 million, 5 million, 10 million, or most likely none :D but i think will sell ok.
And you? Do you think XenoBlade will sell good this holidays? discuss!
