It sold decently in the United States, I'm glad, although it seems like data from the game is weird.
The Volkampf Tyrant is the best way to calculate the game's sales (I'm sorry, VGChartz isn't). 290K people have beaten that boss in the West, and considering that X has maybe sold 220K copies in the States, either the internal data from the game is flawed, many people have beaten the boss while offline or it sold badly in Europe.
Nonetheless, the game is sitting right now at 400-450K units right now worldwide, which is better than nothing. |
290k for the whole west seems a tad low, for it to be true, it would mean it flopped badly in Germany and afterwards had no legs whatsoever, because from the little we know it sits at atleast 250k:
- USA = 200k+
- UK = 10k first week
- France = 40k in the first 12 days by what Nintendo France said
And that is without adding in Germany, other smaller markets, the missing days for UK and France, and digital, for all of that to only add 42k to overall number seems a tad low. If anything, that 292k from the may very well be just for NA, because it is way to low for it to be NA + Europe.

Hard to say , one way or the other , but if you go back through historic jrpgs sales in the west , European sales side is pretty poor and his has led to many games getting released a year or more late there and then it is quite often only because of a small niche publisher .

But this has been doing quite well in charts and Amazon, even in my country where JRPG are super niche, it was the 2nd best selling game of the console in Amazon until yesterday, just after Twilight Princess HD (today has changed, but it has been on of the top 3 since it was released), Europeans love western RPGs and this one, while japanese, has a lot of that western appeal too so and I think is working.
