It's sold 120k in Japan in 7 months.

The original sold 160k lifetime.

Wow lol we'll it's off to a very good start then. It's hard to say. Honestly, Nintendo's marketing of this game has been abysmal. It should have been pushed as their big holiday title. They should be hyping this game up as their answer to Fallout 4. This should have been a November black friday game. It's clearly finished already. The fact that fucking Splatoon was pushed harder than this game is an absolute crime. The game is coming out in two week and it feels like literally nobody cares or even knows about it, and that's a damn shame given the legacy it's following. Shulk in Smash was marketed better than XCX has been.

Agreed.

This game deserved a sizeable marketing push to the general public, to show that Wii U has "hardcore" games as well. Open world epics are hot right now, and XCX has the potential to reach beyond the existing Wii U player base.

Alas, as with every Wii U game outside of Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Mario Maker, Nintendo's sending it out like a silent fart.
