And how do you know the opposite exactly...? Where's the reasoning about your opinion...
How it would crack npd while it was a retailer exclusive as a result npd excluding it from its monthly report?

Recently, Japanese comics have been quite popular in the West.
That's true. I think that people caught on to their appeal. 
Of course, I've also seen the strong reaction to Xenoblade Chronicles from people who love Japanese comics and anime. But that's not the only appeal.
True.
There's the impression that the people who enjoy the overall JRPG genre were overjoyed with the game. They seemed to feel like the next generation of JRPG had finally arrived. The overseas sales would never be higher than the Japanese sales unless that was the case.
Exact figures were not released, though Nintendo announced that the game sold more in the West than in Japan, indicating at least 200,000 copies sold.[

We can pretty easily assume by that that it had sold more in the USA than in Japan...
