Also, I wouldn't count Shulk out of Xenoblade Chronicles X entirely, though I only do think he will be in a flashback or something similar. Also, what about Melee. This topic wasn't about whehter it was going to outsell every game from every gen, it was about will the Wii U game sell as much as its major franchise counterparts on the Wii U, and in doing so will Nintendo keep nurturing the series to try and have it as a major 1st party title (and out of the typical niche of jrpgs).  Not will two games in a series be able to beat sales of franchises with 20+ year histories.

At bolded:  Sephiroth. 

Absolutely not.
Like I don't think there's even a ghost of a chance.

I see your having a hard time remembering my points, whether its seletive memory or you honestly can't remember.  You said having Shulk in SSB is gonna help push Xenblade Chronicles X sales, I said how did that work out when Ike was in SSB Melee for FE Radient Dawn?  You keep ignoring my points and making things up, I never said your point was its gonna outsell every game from every gen, show me where I said that.  You said its gonna sell on par with Mario Kart and SSB which is ridiculous.  

I played Xenoblade Chronicles and gave it a 9.5 (you can see in my games collection), but I'm not completely blinded by the game like you are.  Good games don't always sell well, there are way more factors at play.

There's no point in even continuing this, you have countless people in this thread telling you your wrong and yet you don't listen, hell even your poll suggest that there are only people that agree with you or haters.  You will see the sales when the game releases and I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Replying to several people on several different posts including numerous posts to me on this topic. 

Why didn't Ike being in Melee help with Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn's sales? Because they never really singled out and showcased Ike. He was just in it. They are also using more marketing to push Xenoblade such as it being the sole announcement of exclusive software for the New 3DS that is just happens to be releasing alongside Xenoblade X. I agree completely just because a character is in Smash doesn't mean sales will go up, it's just a SINGLE way to help get recognition, especially using the marketing strategy with Shulk that they have.

As for the other people on here, there telling me I'm wrong on something I'm asking an opinion about? Or is it about how much of a corner stone Donkey Kong is, you know the worst selling first party title on the Wii U. They are bringing up sales on a series that ebbs and flows with the growth and decrease in casuals. Hardly a "fact", and I doubt .62 million is going to be hard to beat. Bayonetta 2 may very well beat it, is Bayonetta a cornerstone of Nintendo as well? 

I do, in fact I think there is a REAL good chance this could sell way above the expectations of many. As much as Kart or Smash? Maybe/maybe not, but from everyone here you'd think it's going to just bomb.

I don't think anyone at Nintendo expects Xenblade or Xenoblade X to sell like MK or Smash...
But somebody at Nintendo seems to realize that Xenoblade has the potential to be a valuable asset...

i hope it can appeal lots of monster hunter fans on n3ds and sell 1 million on japan.
People would want to play the sequel on wii U.
i dont expect neither xenoblade nor xenoblade x to be better than wii´s xenoblade on wii in the western market.

It is the max i expect from these games.

I can agree with this, I just hope it does well enough for them to want to continue expanding and growing the franchise. I think in time it COULD very well be a name as recognizable as Mario or Link, it would take a while though. As far as sales, I mostly say that due to the Wii U's low install base and the hopes that a lot of owners will want this, and even more plan on purchasing a Wii U for it. The marketing seems to be heading in the right direction to get the name out. As I said before 2 million wouldn't be impossible, and I think even 3 million could be doable IMO. 

Xenoblade is never going to be some "4th leg" of Nintendo or whatever the original post said. Can it shift decent numbers? Sure, it's a great game, but it doesn't have the mass appeal that Mario or Zelda have.

I will buy it.
