Personally I think the sales are inflated due to the lack of competition for RPGs on the Wii U and secondly due to the lack of games in general.

Nintendo fans didn't have much else new to choose from in November and December so it's inevitable that X gets a boost. 200k+ in the US is definitely good for the game but you're not going to see 3Rd party RPG developers rushing back to support them.

Every game that bombed on the WiiU was also released with a lack of options and competition, yet they bombed, and very hard, XCX however, in the same scenario, didnt bombed. There is an audience, period.

II never said there wasn't an audience.  But there's no doubt the sales were inflated.  It literally had no competition from new releases this December and November in the US.
