Im not sure about the initial sales, but right now Xenoblade X is at #242 on the Amazon Top Seller List. I dont believe the game is doing "well" right now. Also, i agree with Versus_Evil in the sense that Nintendo fans tend to like more the "E Rated" style of most Nintendo games. Look at the Top 10 of Amazon: 1) Super Mario Maker (Rated E) 2) Super Smash Bros (Rated E) 3) Just Dance 2016 (Rated E) 4) Mario Kart 8 (Rated E) 5) Yoshis Wooly World (Rated E) 6) Amiibo Festival (Rated E) 7) Lego Dimension (Rated E) 8) Super Mario 3D World (Rated E) 9) Splatoon (Rated E) 10) Xenoblade X (Rated T) There is no place for Bloodborne/Halo 5 type of games on Nintendo systems. |
Splatoon is very close on the list to XCX, following that logic it must be doing terrible, yet we know is doing very well and way better than almost every game on that wiiu list, however is just 9th on Amazon wich is highly contradictory with reality.
And btw, I may have to remeber you that a lot of mature games have been on Nintendo systems before: Eternal Darkness, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Resident Evil 4 are some of the best exemples. None of them were flops. Even with Bayonetta 2, if the game is around half milion sold (is probably more) it has actually a bigger attach ratting than Bloodborne on Ps4, 5 times bigger.
