I dont understand why people are underestimating this game so much.It sold on Wii almost 1 million and will probably have a good boost now that is released in the europe eshop, and most likely is also comming to america.And you have to consider that the game had ZERO marketing here.And while the wii install base was of 100 million, most of them were casual players, and xenoblade isnt the type of game for those people.
Now X is having a very good marketing, with the game appearing in directs, and in important shows as E3 and gamescon, not to mention its going to have a bundle here in the west.And games like Xenoblade, which appeal most to hardcore gamers, tend to have a more loyal fanbase.So we can expect at least the same number of sales that xenoblade had in US and europe(In Japan is already going to outsell the original, with the game comming close to 150k including digital).
I really believe this game will do very well, and i wont be surprised if the total sales by the end of december(Shipped+digital) is higher than 1 million.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
