it's only one significant release. dragon quest x expansion can only be bought by people who already got the game


well, that insignificant release sold more than XCX. Just saying...

It´s Dragon Quest, It´s an expansion of a previous game, and it´s half price. You can be sure that the Dragon Quest expansion didn´t boost the WiiU sales. It was the Xenoblade bundle.

With digital it could certainly be possible that Xenoblade X is above 100k. That is a significant advantage over the first Xenoblade, in that case. On a vastly smaller user-base and in an age in which Japanese gamers are playing mobile and handhelds, this is pretty good. Not excellent, but pretty good. It will be interesting to see what the legs of Xenoblade X will be like. I can see it doing something like 25k -> 15k-> 10k-> 5k -> 1-2k for the rest of the year, to end somewhere around 160k-200k lt without digital sales.

Highly unlikely that digital is more than 10%.

Nintendo has stated that their digital sales exceed 10%  of total software and that Japanese make up a third of all digital sales. Digital sales for first party games sit at around 13%. This game was pushed hard digitally and Nintendo already said its digital sales were high. So over 10% is definitely not "highly" unlikely. (source: below)

DQX has an active userbase of a few hundred thousands and some people get the expansion right away. the expansion will drop like a rock while xenoblade will have some legs at minimum.

But that includes the 3DS doesn't it? Because digital sales on handheld devices are higher than on consoles.



Don't know if the software sales are the best they could be given Wii U's situation is Japan, but the boost was actually quite good, when you take into consideration that with MK 8 - with vgchartz numbers in mind - Wii U went from 8.9k to 19k. Now it was what, 6 or 7k to 22k?

XBC managed to boost Wii U even higher than MK8.
I would consider this as a sign that if Nintendo bets on games that japanese gamers like, it will pay off.
