I should have known better, but the sales of Xenoblade X just saddens me.
The game is so amazing, yet most Wii U users don't even care.
It will be hard to blame Nintendo if X2 doesn't happen or has a lower budget.

Doesn't take many copies to move that low on the charts.
If 200k is good debut then both RotT and The Order are success stories and we will be talking about their amazing performance fpr years to come.You must not be aware of its good debut in US
Context?
Yeah, i know.

Actually no. Any official data to look?

It's strange that Yoshi's New Island is so popular now, that it dropped in price, it regularly places above the other Nintendo Selects titles in the German charts, even above A Link Between Worlds (which I think is the better game, but I think YNI is a great game, too).

All those games debuted at around 200k at the NDP.
Because Mario Maker is almost in TOP TEN?
so....this is almost certainly over 1 million worldwide. Without being bundled to a console right?
In fact, it's likely over Donkey Kong, Pikmin, and others.
I know MP has always been a big seller, but tons of franchises have had their legs clipped this generation...so of all the games, this one is less affected.
dunno whether to laugh...or laugh.

All those games were expected to sell much more and were way more appealing to the Western audience. Let alone the fact that Tomb Raider is one of the most known IP in the market.

Unless you think Xenoblade Chronicles X is a big budget AAA game like Tomb Raider and The Order, I'm not sure what on earth you're trying to prove here. 200k for a niche JRPG in the US is pretty good.

Surprised about the success of Style Savvy 2 in Spain.
Well it's a good game and the Wii U isn't doing that terribly in Germany. Well, all things considered I mean.
Yeah not yet. Which makes me wonder if bundled copies are counted.
I see his point. Xcx doesn't seem like a low budget game. Why would a huge open world be cheap on wii U when it wasn't on ps3/360. Just because most have low expectations of it doesn't mean it has had good sales overall.
Now if you say we don't know xcx budget then well we don't know any games budget and should just compare sales directly then.
Also I remember FF type-0 being labeled a bomb and that had better sales than xcx and no doubt a smaller budget.
I don't know about calling it a success without any kind of numbers. It could have sold a 1000 units to be there
According to the studio itself XCX is not AAA and when playing it you know it's not AAA.

1,000 units the 8th best-selling game of December?
A game which is in TOP 10 of the best seller For the month of DECEMBER can't be that low.
It's easy At least x10 of that.

Well, it's the 8th best-selling game in December in Spain... Surely it sold well - surprisingly so because I would have expected Animal Crossing being higher, for example.

No Nintendo Land or Knack leads me to believe they aren't.
Whether a game is a success or a failure depends on what the publisher was expecting. A game can be profitable and still be considered a failure if the publisher was expecting even better sales. So if Type-0 bombed, it would've been because the expectations were much higher, especially since it was bundled with a FFXV demo, whereas Nintendo would've been delusional if they were expecting >200k for Xenoblade X in the US. Remember, the first Xenoblade barely even released in the US, it was a Gamestop and Nintendo store exclusive and from what I remember, shipment numbers were extremely low.
Also, the reason why most open world games cost so much isn't because they have huge open worlds, it's because they have to fill those open worlds with a shitload of content. I haven't even played the game but I've seen enough videos to know this really isn't the case for XCX. It's not a big budget game.
You could have bumped it with the actual chart when it was released.

the game is suppose to have plenty of content, the reason its not a huge budget is probably the graphics, the level of detail is very low, compared to something like gtav lastgen.i still think it had a descent budget, just not huge. who knows what nintendo expected, you never know what niche title could be a huge hit, look at splatoon for example.
GTA V, just die already.
Why? People are clearly enjoying a great game.
Yeah GTAV had a lot of double dippers because it launched on next gen a year later.

Style Savvy 2 slaying EU charts apparently. I wonder whether the game could reach a million worldwide.

It's not just This.
Look at the UK Chart, GTA V sold almost 1 million in 2015, and now is charting second, above Games like FIFA 16 or Star Wars...
It also sold almost 1 million in December NPD 2015.
I mean, PS4 / XB1 version now are Over 1 year old... It surely helped, but those legs are insane even with console / PC released.
I feel like GTA series is stronger than ever.
Definitely, it's probably the best selling non-bundled game ever by now (easily 60+ million).
But GTAVI will probably have a similar debut, GTA games are much more casual than whatever GAF's idea of casual is, so even after that explosive growth it still won't be front-loaded.
GAF still thinks Mario and Ratchet and Clank are casual while GTA isn't.
