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?


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


There are always exceptions.

worst part is if you put in xenoblade （ゼノブレイド）in google the first thing to come up is xenoblade PS3, meaning that is the most searched.

So.. can we expect Soma Bringer like numbers for Xenoblade?



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

Wow really? So it seems the Japanese would prefer their RPGs on the PS3. Are they complaining over DQX on Wii yet? How was it when ToG released on Wii exclusively? Same?

tomorrow is XENOBLADES LAST DAY

Well my prediction will come true, it'll cross versus XIII before release.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Bruno Muñoz on 09 June 2010

I think today's been the last day for Xenosaga on the preorders chart. At least it has had more preorders than NieR.

I'm moderately optimistic.



SaviorX on 10 June 2010

Xenoblade could sell anywhere from 35,000 to 65,000 first week.

Let's hope it is closer to the latter rather than the former.
