Yikes. The hype and amount of stellar reviews played a major role here, but the consumers really made NoA look bad.

Interesting how sales YoY are 2012>2011>2010 already, probably a first for a game!

Also may be the first game to win GOTY awards in 3 consecutive years with no re-releases!

I don't think that many backed out of pre-orders. I was out of town and could not pick mine up on release day. The sales were Friday only for Xenoblade, so this number is very impressive. Next week sales should still be strong due to further pre-order fulfillment. Now we will just need to learn from Nintendo how accurate these numbers are. Kid Icarus sales on this site were bumped by 50% after Nintendo's announcement.

It will indeed get close to the 500k, which is quite a landmark for a niche JRPG, especially one with a developer with an impressive pedigree (but so far, not much widespread recognition for its titles). This could be the first game to put MONOLITH SOFT on the map.

you guys remember when Cartman got a giant amusement park and then he did not let anyone in it, then since no one could go in there was a big riot and people wanted to get it

Nintendo did the same, they made an amazing game and said North America you will not get, then after a year they will release it here and EVERYONE will buy it

PRETTY SMART

That would be awesome, this game deserves great sales. I am so hoping that they are already working on a spiritual sequel for Wii U, would love to see this game in HD. Hell, if they make a remake I'll buy it just to support this company.

One piece of information. I've got an e-mail from Nintendo, confirming that Xenoblade will be officially sold by their representatives in Latin America. I know a lot of people here who will buy. I'll buy it too, despite already having it (been to Germany in October, couldn't resist and bought the bundle twice, one for using and the other to keep sealed).

USA Pre0orders are 92k, add Canada and it's over 100k. In 1 week pre-orders for Americas will be over the week 1 sales for the rest of the world combined, and the game will still have 11 more weeks to build pre-orders. I would not be surprised if this game opened to 250k or more in Americas, and I really hope it break 1 million lifetime. If it breaks 900k lifetime it will have outsold XenoGears.

Guys, the sales are just fine. If it reaches 100k, it's better over here than 85-90% of niche JRPG's. And look below at the comparative sales of games like this on the Wii. I think, if it hits America, we're looking at 500k, which is AWESOME! On a side note, I finished the game today (well, nearly) at 113 hours. Truly epic game.

Looks like EMEAA sales will be about the same as Japans. NOA has no reason not to localize as the game will likely sell best in that region.

Well aroun 10k per week is not that bad I guess. We are in week 4 and we have the half of the sales in Japan. If this keep going by the 10 week it will have the same sales as Japan. Imagine if this is release in NoA, the game could sell around 500k. And guys, if Catherine had surpassed their cost with 300k sales, this game easily around 300k will have profit

I´m sure if it reaches 100.000 quick enough in European territories, then Nintendo America will announce a release in your country. They know, 100k for a JRPG means 150-200.000 copies in the states. That is safe money and the game is already translated with great british english (which I like, it is a really cool game, guys).

@MRKs Of course there is. The problem here, like Curl-6 said, is that Nintendo underestimated us by undershipping the game. I can tell that at least in my country this game suffered from that, since there's only one retailer with that game for sure, and that being Fnac. Too bad i had to wait until now to pick my copy at Zavvi (cheaper than buying here). I'm waiting for over a week for a restock. This f*cking sucks, as everyone i know (and even those i don't know), just tell wonders about the game. FuckFfuckFUCK!

If EMEAA sales hold strong, then there is a chance EMEAA total sales will equal Japans. Won't that be enough for NOA to localize the game? I don't think XenoBlade will drop as hard as it did in Japan because all Japanese software is only strong for a week or two, then crashes, where it's different everywhere else.

The first shipments for Xenoblade shouldn't have been so low--there was more demand than supply in the UK, and it's still sold out at a lot of retailers. The longer Nintendo take to get stock out, the more chance this has of disappearing when bigger titles come out. Start some advertising campaigns mentioning the glowing reviews, and get stock out so this doesn't sink!!

Excellent game, it's one of the best RPG of this Gen without a doubt. It has everything, you can save anywhere, lots of stuff to do, tons of sidequests, tons of places to explore (and they reward it with Exp) the time flows and there is Night and Day. You can change the time of the day whenever you want. Also the story so far is great and best of all if you change equipment you see it on the character! :D Seriously, buy it you will not regret it

Yeah, as nice as this sight is, you have to take the actual numbers with a grain of salt. Some games are never updated after their first few weeks, others are listed under multiple titles separating by regions their true numbers. However given everything, the 3DS port, the representation in Smash Bros, the semi sequel and more, I think the key thing to take away is that Xenoblade is a success by Nintendo standards so more games should be in the pipeline down the road.
