Actually, based on Japanese reception I would be very surprised if it's above 90. Probably low 80s.

And what do you know about the japanese reception? the famitsu score?? Because there are a bunch of othr sites in japan where the game has been highly praised, and if you go by sales or famitsu, I let you know that XC was only 2 points above (34 vs 36) and it sold about the same on a console with way more sales, so you are getting the "japanese reception" out of your ass, with this japanese reception the previous one had a 92.

I would assume by Japanese Reception he's talking about user scores such as these: 

http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/376-5743841-6725449?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Xenoblade

with XCX getting 3 and a half stars compared to XC's 4 and a half.  I don't personally put much weight in user reviews but I figure if one is going to talk about general consumer reception this is one of the few metrics.
