I don't think it will sell good, but I do think it will sell well.

It is going to sell 1.5m LT at retail + digital and it will be a bigger Wii U seller than Splatoon was. Just because I feel like more people would buy a Wii U for this game rather than Splatoon, and then get games like Splatoon after this releases.

It should sell decent, but I don't think it's going to do that well.. hopefully I'm wrong

i think it will sell well in europe, but unfortunately will slightly bomb in the u.s. I feel like one of the reason splatoon sold as well as it has was the best buy splatoon wii-u bundle. Having a game bundled with the system can really help its sales through exposure. Being bundled in europe will definitely help xeno. I hope really hope it does well in the states, but i highly doubt it. 500k by march hopefully at least 1 milly lifetime is what i'm thinking. We'll see though. i'd be glad to be wrong on this one.

I see it ending at just over or under 1 million. I don't see a huge amount of success for this game but I see it being successful enough.

I see more potential in mario maker than XB. No more than 1m LTD

i think it releases too late.
the spot week seems to be 1 week before black friday, 20 november would be a better date for selling a great game.
btw, i hope so. i want to see xenoblade Y/Z/3

The last game did best in the States despite no marketing, no hype building on Nintendo's part, limited production, exclusive to GameStop.  And it came in 2012 when the Wii's rep was shot to crap, Nintendo's marketing machine was practically none existent, and the Wii U had already been announced.  Given that every circumstance for Xenoblade Chronicles X is better except the install base size, there is no reason to believe it will bomb here while doing well in Europe.

Considering how well the first one did without much fanfare or advertising, and the hype this game has been building since it was first announced, and considering many rpg fans seem to consider the first the best rpg of last gen, then I would say yeah, it'll probably do pretty well.

In all honesty, Wii U actually doesn't have a bad retail lineup this fall/holiday season. It's just that we all wanted Zelda, and Nintendo should have never said it "would" be a 2015 title. That's all. Ignoring the fact that we won't get Zelda till next year, Wii U is getting Rodea the Sky Soldier (by former Nights creator), it's getting Devil's Third, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Star Fox Zero, Yoshi's Wooly World, Super Mario Maker, AND Xenoblade, all in that last quarter.

The only game I personally am for sure stoked for, is Yoshi, because Good-Feel has a track record of making excellent old-school side-scrollers. I may or may not get Star Fox, because I'm still dubious about whether it'll be worth it or not. But all around, that's still a decent Q4 lineup.

I don't think so. I think it will sell like Bayonetta 2.
