I'm worried to see no Xenoblade even in the Leptom chart! That game looks epic, and it's an RPG, how can it flop in Japan on a console with lack of RPGs!

Edit: Sheesh, my grammar and spelling suck.

Hmm, if I was a billionare I'd buy 1 million copies and buy flopsville and make it cool... but I'm not :(
Is it a flop if it sells as much as xenosaga III, hell is it a flop if it sells more?


I don't know these things :(

Blame Wii Fit?

I blame more piracy than casual games really...but anyway I have still hope for Xenoblade, it can't sell worse than Zangeki no Reginleiv!

nah the Xeno series has always appeared on Playstation platforms so maybe the wii fanbase is low =(

it's weird that Pokemon is not on the COMG! chart



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I'm also worried about Xenoblade, this game cannot be allowed to bomb. If unfortunately it sells bad Nintendo will be the only one to blame for. At the very least I set the bar at 150k - 200k since Baten Kaitos managed to sell over 100k units on GameCube.

I'm more worried about its opening, which is connected directly to preorders. LTD sales are difficult to predict now, but an acceptable week one IMO would be 50k, but Zangeki o Reginleiv appeared in the top 30 and opened at 22k, if Xenoblade doesn't appear at all...I'll be disappointed, it has all the elements for loving it, especially when a lot of people blames the Wii because it has no games...and where is this people when an AAA Wii game is out?
