It honestly will depend on if Nintendo markets it right.

Since its release, the Xenoblade brand has become very respected worldwide due to many great reviews, the struggle to get it released in NA and its rarity. Shulk appearing Smash Bros was a good move, now Nintendo just has to promote it well enough to grab those that don't follow the game industry to want to give the game a shot.

Also it will definitely have to play just as good as the original or people who even haven't played the Wii game will hold its performance as a negative and not buy it. Honestly, unless there is a massive Xenoblade fanbase that has grown in Japan, I personally think it do on par with the original lifetime, it is on the New3DS only, I think even around the time Xenoblade 3D drops there still won't be that big of an install base outside of Japan.

I think it's possible. This is basically the N3DS' key title going forward, so I feel like most people who pick up a New 3DS will also get this game. It could have a very good attach rate, and beat its predecessor as a result.

Since it's exclusive to the update of an updated console, I say no.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

It could happen cause Xenoblade was pretty limited when it came out in NA so there is a slim chance

I believe it will, Xenoblade CX will increment the interest on this one, and both will outsell Chronicles on Wii.

most of the wii userbase were more grandmas and such for the wii sports and buying it as new gadget after was heavily promoted in the media to such a degree that its software was not selling to the point you would expect due to its userbase.

I think N3DS as its mainly gamers who buy it will be different but we will see how the sales on N3DS go first as we have to remember that this title will be exclusive to New 3DS and won't run on the standard 3DS

Yeah, grandmas totally bought 27 million copies of New Super Mario Bros Wii, 12 million copies of Smash Bros, 11 million copies of Mario Galaxy...

Grannies must like that moustache or something!

Plus over 7 million grannies have a thing for barely legal Elvish boys. ;)

Agreed. I think Japan will help a lot, since the install base of the N3DS is bigger there than it will be on this side of the globe when the game releases.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
