it's funny reading about the Japanese fans going nuts over xenoblade being on wii.  If I look at one of the Japanese forums half of the topics are about xenoblade and about 1/3 of those are about how it isn't gonna sell well or about how it should have been on PS3.  People really gotta get over it and just buy it if you like it.

What are they saying abut The Last Story?!

_______

lets ope xenoblade can get to 200K LTD

Yeah,I'm so curious about that.

Ready to hear about meltdowns,disappointments,etc.etc. :D

I read somewhere that some analysts expected Xenoblade to sell 120k LTD.

I have it at 55k - 60k (First Week) 115k - 130k (Lifetime Sales)

Thats good I guess, maybe I just expected more.

Lets hope it can outperform expectations.

I think this game would fare much better than 120k if released in America. All Ninty would have to do is position it in early December... and I'd say it would nab like 350k here lifetime.

Why though? Its a JRPG why would it do better in the west?

There are basic things like bigger userbase, but I think the West just gets hyped for things more. I mean, look at Galxy, MGS4, Zelda- all those things sell better in the West.

But a better reason is, Westerners aren't so attached to brandname. In Japan, JRPGs not named, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Tales of "____" are shunned. I think Americans would be more accepting of a good RPG, even if it isn't from a blockbuster franchise. Although Xenoblade shares the Xeno name, it is still niche. Besides, how many JRPGs does the Wii get anyway?

I guess it could. This gen FF has done better in west too, probably will do double in the west compared to Japan all said and done.

I think The Last Story will do much better than Xenoblade though- it seems more like FF

White Knight Chronicles did pretty well in Japan though (despite being pretty bad game) and it was new ip.

WKC1's success baffles me to this day.
