ill get it wont pay for it because I live in America though.

And you reckon that'll help get the game released? The game gets less sales so Ninty have a reason NOT to localise the games. If you want to play them, at least import them...that way it counts as a sale and there's a better chance of localisation.

Trust me I would buy the game if It was in america but i cant pay the extra import costs. I support jrpgs alot but i cant do that right now. If the game releases in america I will buy a copy, but I wont import.

Good reply. However, surely if you wanted a game badly enough you'd just import it anyway? Different situations call for different measures, I suppose. I just don't want this game to go all Red Steel 2 and flop due to piracy. I really, really worry it will. 

To expand on Wagram's reply- http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/nintendo-wii/xenoblade-chronicles/10501221.html (that's a very good price BTW, around $35-$40).

Also, I think this could be the link for the shipment numbers...

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=162983

I make that 38k for Europe (definite sellout), but only 40k for StarFox as well? 2k more for a much bigger, much more important game? Where's Nintendo's confidence gone all of a sudden? Unless they pull an OoT 3DS and say they have low shipments to get the sales in

 

EDIT**

 

From what I've read further, these shipments are only for France. So 38k in France is...well...a lot. That means around a 200k+ shipment easily in the entity of EMEAA. One extreme to the other, eh?

I'm gonna buy it some day, probably after I bought Zelda.

When it flops in EU they will put that as an excuse for not selling it in America.

You reckon they'd do anything else?

Well the game is going to get no advertising. Big surprise if it flops.

Also if your one of those people who bitch about not enough JRPGs and don't buy this. You're a fucking hypocrite.
