About what I expected from Xenoblade 2. Was hoping for a little higher, (Like actually cracking the 100k mark), but beggars can't be choosers.
Should be able to to reach 200k, I believe.

Japan sucks for all sales now, Final Fantasy, etc. Only good for Pokemon. Bought my copy here in Canada (of X2)

What are you talking about? This game beat the FW sales of Xenoblade Chronicles 1, and X in Japan. Add in digital and it's well over 100,000FW in Japan which isn't great but it isn't terrible either.

Right. All it has to do is sell over 160K and it will have beaten the highest selling Xenoblade game LT.

I think you're all misunderstanding him. He means compared to SNES and PSX days. Especially FF and DQ, it's a big difference. But, it's due to the shifts that happened in the market.

But how are we supposed to know that? Nothing about the SNES or PSX was mentioned. I didn't downvote him but Japan still has good sales for its series. And we really didn't know if he was referring to JRPGS only or all genres of games. Saying it sucks for "all sales"is kinda cruddy.

Animal Crossing New Leaf sold 5M units in Japan, Yokai Watch does well, a lot of Nintendo's 1st party does well, Monster Hunter, etc. So I don't know if he was referring to JRPGs exclusively or what.

I think you guys are misunderstanding him. He means that the game discounts in Japan arent as good. Thats what he meant by "sales"

Is a brand new game supposed to be on sale? I guess I'm just confused. Final Fantasy XV is well on sale by now.
