Probably won't be... much like how we don't get Xenoblade sales in the States

The game's only distribution channels are Amazon and Nintendo eShop in that region, and from what I'm reading the weekly Top 50 sales chart in the source doesn't track sales from both of those outlets, so...
Not that I expected the game to set the charts on fire, even if it did get a retail release...

Im a bit worried about kotaku, theyre a bit rubbish.
I think we can assume it didn't sell well.

Not that I know any better, but with how much everyone points out errors and bullshit with Kotaku, why are they still allowed as a source of anything outside of April Fool's stories?
yes they are wrong since they said it sold a specific number which was not the case

I guess their BS is fairly easy to spot like this one here and the more "normal" type of news is tame and somewhat reliable.

Kotaku can be okay but between amateur hour shite like this and the fact that it's under the Gawker umbrella, I just can't. That's all. Just can't.

LEAVE KOTAKU ALONE!
Still speclative nonsense, but it is all the way down in 95th place on the Top Games listing on Amazon.jp
How does one sell a good that is out of stock?
It'll do better in the year of 2002.

Brian Ashcraft should stick to his blog like stories about how lucky he is to be in Japan and has married a Japanese woman and that his kids are so Japanese that they don't even speak English.
Game Bloggu parody of Ashcraft was on point.

The unspoken Brian Ashcraft motto is you don't need to research stories that occur in Asia if you actually live there.

Of all blogs that could have made this mistake, it is actually the Japanese-oriented blog that gets it wrong.
I don't expect much from Kotaku, but at least that they get their Japanese articles right lol

I mean sure Kotaku was totally wrong in regards to their figures but let's be real: It's not like it would rank too highly on the sales charts if it could anyway

on the plus side, those playing it seem to like it. mostly the multiplayer is getting good praise.
Dumb mistake. Saw it when I woke up this morning and we corrected ASAP. Sorry guys.
(And before you keep shitting all over Ashcraft, at least check out one of the other stories he ran this morning, an extensive look at more of Konami's horrible practices based on some good original reporting.)

like many others, I for one, am shocked this game is apparently out? i didn't realize it was even close to releasing.

Legit good time for a thread title change. Though I wonder how much of a hole leaving out amazon.jp is for regular results, I didn't realize it wasn't tracked either. Cultures and all, but I'd wager it's a sizable chunk of US sales these days. Last time I was in a retail store was...to get Gamer's Club Unlocked activated so I could use it online.
