My points are so, so very vague (and some of them are even inaccurate) that it doesn't make a difference. 

I've never said 'you go here and kill this guy', or 'the end boss is this person', or 'LOL you really think this? You're WRONG!' to any particular point in the thread; and anything in particular that may be considered a spoiler is in a spoiler tag. 

I don't see the issue.

WW sales this week-29k (22.5k USA)!

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41021/Global/

This pushes WW sales above 600k, and it's still selling! Also, it sold 3k this week in Europe, which is up 250% from 2 weeks ago! The release in America boosting sales? What about that advert?

Also, I'll update the OP with the FAQ. Got 12 questions to put in from the thread and messages.

Its kinda sad though. While a WW Number of 600.000 is great and probably (at least i hope so) a reason for NoA to celebrate about the success in North America, this Game deserves so much better... i hope for another 400k sold/Lifetime due to word of mouth., looking at Valkyria Chronicles, that does not seem unlikely. (Even though a big chunk of Copies werent sold at Full Price.)

Speaking about Sales, i just looked at how TLS is doing in Europe, and i am quite shocked. i didnt think Teh Europz would give so little about Sakaguchi and Uematsu. (And IMO people need to stop comparing those 2 titles.. SERIOUSLY. But i think i did say that some posts earlier. I am 15 Hours in, and this game is- the many flaws aside - pretty exciting to play.)

Yeah, I agree. The game does deserve more, and it may have got (slightly) more were it to be released earlier in the Wii's life-cycle, but at least we got it in the end! 

If the game cracks a million, which is has about a 5-10% chance of doing, it will be considered an absolute breakout success. But the sales must be more encouraging for MonolithSoft, as it means that the game is selling, and that people are enjoying it, so it bodes well for their WiiU title!

About TLS, it's selling very roughly the same as Xenoblade here in the EU, and will likely end up within 20-30k of each other. I mean, we're at 64k after 9 weeks, and Xenoblade was at 84k, but sold far less consistantly. I like TLS, but Xenoblade is much better. TLS is too short, I'd like more customisation and too few sidequests. 

In terms of WW LT totals for the two games, I'd expect something like (to nearest 10k):

Xenoblade

Japan- 160k

EU- 220k (already sold 30k this year, more than FW!)

US- 470k

Other- 110k

Total- 960k

The Last Story

Japan- 190k

EU- 190k

US- 300-520k (depending on how it's marketed, if they put 'from the creators of Final Fantasy' on the box, for example)

Other- 90k

Total- 770k-990k, depending on marketing in US.

Both of the games will be considered a huge success, and as will Pandora's Tower, even if it doesn't reack 500k.

Of course, this is only if you believe VGChartz numbers, which is quite a risky thing to do

I do believe in VGC Numbers, i expect them to be a little off, but except some missteps, "they" do an awesome job on giving us a picture about a game's doing.

Oh and i dont think Nintendo just can put a "From the creators of Final Fantasy" on the Box that easilly, i am sure Square would be pissed. (Even though its just pointing out the truth, but FF is a trademark. .. ) I mean, looking at my Box of TLS, it says "A Game by Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu", which may be silly due to many people not recognizing those guys from the getgo. =(

@WiiU: Nintendo should team up with those Dolphin-Guys, and let them make an Emulator for the WiiU, and throwing an upscaled Version of Xenoblade onto their Download-Service for low Money! (because i'd like to see another RPG from Monolith in the notsodistant future. =/.. meaning that recognizing those fellas by making sure that a looot of people played Xenoblade might be good advertisement for their future projects.)

True, and it's only coming from two sources...

I wouldn't suggest there would be THAT much of an issue putting 'from the creator of Final Fantasy' on the box, as it's also party his trademark, even if it belongs to Squeenix...we shall see. Even just putting Sakaguchi on the box would be fine, though...

I'd buy that WiiU game BTW. I'd love to see it in HD

yeah, same here.  the following would be enough already, but it would be legal then:

I've seen other videos like this before. I'd love to be able to do it (dunno how Dolphin works, doubt my computer could run it anyway...)

And, if they add in the Shoulder, and the other leg, and a couple more areas on the Mechonis (a volcano?), add different difficulties, and more quests (related to skill trees, more stuff like the one outside Colony 6 after the second visit in that area, then, well...that would be it, really.

I just arrived at the Central Factory. There are some mean mehon, I guess I have to level up at least 3 level until I can proceed this way :/.

I planned to finish the game this weekend but I got distracted by friends, Beer, and the Avengers (you should watch it´s awesome). And I planned to complete Zelda Skyword Sword didn´t make it either(this game is killing me I´am playing it for 6 months and it is so damn boring).
