Yep, looks like it's getting the respect it deserves on Wii, ranking among masterpieces like Zumba Fitness, Just Dance, Wii Party, Cars 2, Lego Pirates...!

On the plus side it is outranking Portal 2, Red Dead Redemption, Homefront, Dirt 3, L.A. Noire...

Great. Seems that demanding games have a chance. in the past few month it seems that only the mainstream crap would sell, like zumbas fitness, red dead redemption, cars 2, dirt 3, call of duty, and so on

Zelda jumped to number four. Wonder how much it can achieve during holiday season and beyond. Xenoblade's success is good news for jrpg's, and the game community. Doesn't NOA understand that the company lacks -not sales or money- but credibility?

Top 10 overall is ahead of what most people were estimating. Number 3 single-platform is ecstatic

Now we need numbers from the rest of Europe so we can all throw feces at NoA

The entire world is facepalming at NoA now

So if that follows for the rest of Europe it'll have a first week of between 30-50kish, which is pretty good for a game like this, hopefully it'll eventually reach or beat its sales in Japan (150k)

If NoA suddenly decides to localize, I guess I'll buy, but they're too late if they wanted to stop me from voiding my warranty...

It's not warranty-voiding if your warranty is already expired. After your warranty's gone, they'll fix any problem for a fee (except if you botch a mod-chip, then they'll likely sic the FBI on you even though that's not illegal...)

Unless France got a disproportiante shipment to their usual fraction of EU sales I can't see how that 38k number could be accurate and Xenoblade not beat out Ocarina of Time 3DS and Zumba in the UK.  Just doesn't seem to match up with a comparable UK shipment of 50-60k.
