Will Xenoblade Chronicles X outsell the original?

That's an odd way to look at it. 

The original sold 150k from June 12th to the end of 2010 (6 and a half months) according to the sales on VGC, while XCX has sold 119,000 since May 2nd until now (6 and a half months).  One can argue that there are holidays still to come for XCX that are counted in the XC data but I haven't seen much to convince me that the holidays in Japan can make up that kind of deficit.  

Honestly, I just didn't know how to check Xenoblade's sales over a time period outside of (A) lifetime or (B) the ten weeks listed on its VGChartz page... XD

Fair enough, it was a chore.  I got lucky that the data in Japan for 2010 for XC happens to have the same number of months  as the current data for Japan for XCX in 2015.  Thankfully Nintendo seems to like the May/June seasonal window for Xenoblade otherwise my efforts would have been fruitless.
