The original in NA sold in total 430k according to VGC so factoring digital XBC2 may have moved around 300k which puts it in range of the original's total in one month it'll probably outsell it LT as well.

Wow that is crazy! 

The original Xenoblade was a limited release at Gamestop so its sale were likely hindered by that. For a long time, new copies were going for $90. XC2 will likely outsell it due to exposure alone. There is also the fact that people gush about it which will get people interested in it. For instance, I've seen numerous threads on the Nintendo Switch Subreddit of people praising XC2 with some of those from people who had written the title off. It will likely sell 1 million worldwide and be a cult classic on the system. 2 million would be impressive.
