Yeah, I don't need anymore games directly following this one. But I do hope that MonoSoft brings an RPG to the Wii U or the 3DS (or lots to both). Xenoblade is just so well done, it has the polish that so many Wii games lacked. Like I have said before, I would be fine with totally new characters, etc. But I wouldn't mind there being a Heropon, even a different Heropon, a la Moogles and Chocobos in FF.

There's a new Heropon every year, so that'd be likely.

Sad news: Xenoblade isn't in NPD's top 10. Stupid analysts, so useless.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but NPD doesnt track online sales. Xenoblade was awkwardly released to retail exclusivity to gamestop and online via Nintendo themselves, im not surprised to see the numbers all messed up.




Xenoblade sales werent tracked. Thats why it doesnt appear not only in the top 1O, but in the whole report.



pwin´ every other villain since 1994

Exactly. It was only avaliable in one location (Gamestop) and online (Nintendo, not tracked). As they don't track Gamestop fully, it wasn't really followed...

Onle way we'll really know sales are if Nintendo say something.

I'm pretty sure they do track Gamestop. Even if it isn't "fully," they routinely estimate figures for retailers as it is. I have to wonder if Eurogamer's correct about that policy.

Yeah, that's a pretty cool area...I feel as though it calms down a little from there, but after a few hours it really hits up again!

Although that may be the case, there's absolutely no way it isn't in the top 50 games sold in the month, no? Otherwise it'd have to sell, well... >2,000 units in the month. That's not happening.

The NPD releases a top 50? I thought they just listed the Top Ten all SKU Chart, and occasionally the individual SKU chart.
