Why don’t japanese people like Xenoblade? Did the other Xeno games (before Nintendo purchased Monolith Soft) have this same problem in Japan?

It's doing much better on Amazon Japan, where it's been in the top 20 since the direct and the weeks before it was always around the 30-50th spot. At this rate the game will have a superb ratio

Splatoon 2 sold 3.61 million as of September 31st. That is a huge amount of sales and amazing at that. I wouldn't say "underrated", if anything it goes to show that it will probably easily get to 8 mil and possibly get to 10-11 by the end of it's life.

I talk about Japan not worldwide, and also i mostly talk about before Splatoon 2 launch. I mean, to me Splatoon 2 will easy reach 10 million lifetime, my bet is +12 million considering it already shipped 3.61 million, but for most people that was a huge number. Like, someone agreed on 10 million, but many were thinking that 7/8 million was more realistic. Also, in Japan Splatoon 2 should sell 5 million lifrtime, including digital sales. This year alone it should reach 2 million or really get close to that and is gonna have insane legs.

Wow, I read that completely wrong! I read that as you implying splatoon 2 is underperforming, lol!

In six days PS4 games will dominate this pre-order charts. Will this remain for a while or is there a silver lining on the horizon for the Switch/3DS in Japan?

then i hope they are spending their holiday money to pre-order monster hunter;)

Good day Pokemon. Monster Hunter moving but I want more.

To be fair they never were big fans of the Xenoblade games, with X being the best games sales wise for the FW, doing about 90 or 100k.

According to VGC, the first Xenosaga sold 450k and Xenogears sold 890k in Japan alone while Xenoblade Wii, X & 3DS sold 440k combined.
