We do not know that X is outpacing the original. NPD numbers confirm it is overtracked in the US, so basically if we go by vgchartz numbers for xenoblade they sold about the same in the first month in the US (although X launched during the holidays). X sold 114k in 2015 in Japan according to famitsu numbers, xenoblade is at 163k i believe. Xenoblade had better legs because it was a first and it sold based on good reviews, game of the year awards and word of mouth. X just seems like it's gonna be so frontloaded this time. I would be shocked if it got to 1.5 million to be honest. It may not get to 1 million, we will need more data to know that.
