I said yes in the poll but I have mixed feelings whether it can or not.
The main reason I said yes though is based on the idea that this game is getting alot more attention than I remember XBC getting. Plus add in the fact that Nintendo put a character from the series in Smash and all the praise I've seen the game get and it could help XBX by a good amount.
Though I do feel iffy about saying it will for sure sell better because of things like the gap in user base between the Wii and Wii U and the almost silent treatment Nintendo has in advertising the game. But really can you blame them? This isn't like Splatoon, an open JRPG is more of a hard sell to people.

I'm also unsure, for pretty much the same reasons; it could go either way at this point and I don't feel confident making a prediction.

I must disagree that an open world RPG is a tough sell though; they're very much in fashion these days. Sure, they tend to be WRPGs, but I don't think being Japanese would automatically kill its appeal; after all, games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne and Japanese RPGs and have found success in the West.
