Xenoblade deserved to do better.

Japanese people don't really like JRPGs. They like FF and DQ.

Anything that doesn't have an established name is not going to push amazing numbers.

Yo-kai Watch didn't even sell that well at first and only started selling after the anime took off. You'd see better sales of Nintendo's more obscure franchises if they invested more in cross-media projects. Although truth to be told, such investments aren't wise for a Wii U game.

We do need Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, xenoblade animes in the future though. Only then can these franchises grow.

LOL. Just Lol

I dont even.... (Sigh)

There's loads of JRPGs that sell better in the West than in Japan itself. Xenoblade is just one example. Bravely Default also sold better in the West and that's FF in all but name lol. If it's not named FF sales are hurt.

Although I'm not talking about turn based rpgs like Pokémon. And KH uses FF characters so that's that.

PS Vita did 18.5k and PS4 did 19.8k. Good numbers, expected this numbers!
Wii U only 22.9k? This is bad considering how big Xenoblade X should be in Japan. Xenoblade also hasn't managed 90k... Anyway, this will be the last week in Japan for Wii U where it have beaten PS4 in it's life.

haterism at it's finest.

More, a lot of people were extremely sure that XCX would do over 100k.

But I'm also talking about hardware, in march the PS4 had several weeks above 40k and was always above 30k thanks to game releases, showing that the main thing missing for the system is the software support. This week is Golden week, the Wii U had 2 relatively big releases, one exclusive that came with a bundle, and the system can barely scratch past 20k and can only barely outdo the PS4, that's just really telling imo.

Well I recall materia Blade expecting at least 150k FW for Xenoblade.

But I'm not sure what kind of hardware numbers people were expecting. WiiU was down at around 6k usually, so 21k seems like a reasonable boost I think.

Well I think it's kinda unfair to use the prediction of the worst Nintendo predictor that we've had on this site as a representation for the general XCX prediction range, what I've seen was most people saying it would beat 100k for sure though.

You're as pathetic as ever.
