Where will Xenoblade debut in the UK Individual Format Chart?

The early signs for the game's sales are pretty positive. Landing in the top spots  of some online retailers and reports of it being sold out in other places. With Reggie's recent comment about looking at the sales of the game in Europe, it seems like any hope for the game coming to the Americas depends on how well it does next week (because JRPGs are ususally very frontloaded it would be nearly impossible to recover from a poor start). I'm making this thread specifically about the UK because it seems to be one of the first charts from Europe to come in, and I think it is a market most similar to the Americas which probably makes it extra important in a decision to localize it.

 

For the poll I'm talking about the individual format top 40 chart.

 

My guess is that it will land somewhere around number 10. Software sales have been low in the UK the last few weeks so competition should not be that high, but I have a hard time seeing the game debut much higher than that'.

Got a few votes but no comments yet. Please comment about what you voted for and why. Then on Monday we will see who was close and who was way off.



Around #8 sounds about right. It will do decent but not fabulous. I hope I'm wrong though.



Somewhere between 10-15 will be my guess. I want it to do more though.




I want it to be in the top 3 but realistically that's not going to happen, I hope it will be at least somewhere in the top 20.

I think about 13th.



It's difficult to guess but what the hell : #10. There weren't many new releases this week and the reviews have been great. It should be possible.

I bought it yesterday and I'm quite impressed with the game. I hope it made the Top 10...



10th!



 

I have a feeling the game won't do wonders but respectably; hopefully respectably enough for it to come to the Americas...

That's just Amazon. Although I hope it cracks the top 5 in the official chart.
