So far, the Switch's Fire Emblem Warriors is selling in near lockstep with the PS4's Warriors All-Stars from earlier this year. The respective n3DS and the Vita versions are selling very closely, too. I'd say that it is decent evidence that the problem lies more with the Warriors franchise than anything else. So there's even less of a connection to Xenoblade to be concerned about.

(All-Star's fizzled out after this point, not to chart high enough for numbers again, but was in the Famitsu 1st Half of 2017 sales at about 60k. FEW looks like it should leg it out a little further.)

This isn't a bomba. Will probably have some legs and sell at least ok in the west.
Also, there's that Tharja DLC coming...

Yodobashi Umeda store in Osaka:
Speaking of Kemco, Revenant Saga from Kemco releases on the Switch eShop today in Japan and the West.
Overcooked up to 3rd place in the Japanese eShop Chart, overtaking Snipperclips.
Wonder if it can maintain a top 10 place for the entire month, there is a few co-op games with this amount of content/polish/accessibility, makes you wonder why outside of Bomberman we haven't seen Japanese publishers greenlight a smaller project like this. Especially with Snipperclips, Bomberman and now Overcooked doing so well both domestically and internationally.

2m units for the Switch in the US (as of September). Not quite at 2m in Japan, so US got more shipments so far.

Nope, they ported Xanadu Next all the way down to N-Gage just a year prior to starting PSP ports.
That was not really the same game, even if it shared the name.
And that's a weird straw to clutch at
Wow!!!!!!!!!Yodobashi Umeda store in Osaka:
Not that weird, you were just wrong. Xanadu Next even released on N-Gage after DS and PSP had released. Also it is the same game even if it uses a different engine and was downported. Ys I and II were the same games on PC88, FM7, MSX, Famicom or PCE too even though they had similar (if not greater) differences between versions.
I recall previously Kondo saying they went with PSP because of UMD though. That was a big sticking point versus DS, which made people wonder if things might be reevaluated when it came to 3DS vs Vita early on.

"Nintendo Switch has already surpassed 2 million units sold in the U.S. alone"
More 2m, good
"When combined with the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the plug-and-play Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system, Nintendo systems claimed two-thirds of the month's total video game hardware sales. "
After the Japan Pac-man, the US Pac-man
"Nintendo Switch games again occupied multiple spots in the list of best-selling individual games of the month, including Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from Ubisoft at No. 7, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at No. 10 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No. 11. Also, the Metroid: Samus Returns game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems debuted at No. 8. "
8th for metroid samus returns is pretty good, the 7th place is good too for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
It was still Falcom produced. Sure there are unique circumstances (Nokias dumptruck of money, farming out to Scriptarts using their mobile Ys engine) but its still a counter example to your notion PSP was the only possible solution here. I think PSP still made complete sense for Falcom anyway given the performance and storage they were targeting.
No ones saying Falcoms lying, stop leaping to strawman absolutes and try to temper your tone little, kay?
You must have missed the last two pages, where in fact people were discussing that Falcom lied about their motives in the interview.
Then you chimed in with an irrelevant exception regarding the full picture, and I guess I put you on that category too. My mistake.
Don't forget digital sales!
According to Famitsu, X had 22,805 digital downloads in May 2015. Keep in mind that this number is only for the month of May.
Using all known data, Xenoblade X has sold 400,171 copies worldwide.

If you read:
"Famitsu, first week:
03./00. [WIU] Xenoblade Chronicles X # <RPG> (Nintendo) {2015.04.29} (¥8.316) - 88.544 / NEW <60-80%>
LTD: 114.665 ( digital 22.805) ----> 137.470"
Xanadu Next on N-Gage is a barely playable mess of a game... if anything, your "example" only proves Kondo's interview statement and Fdkn's statements further.
If all you wanted to do was bring up a totally useless exception for no particular reason other than to say "gotcha", I suppose you succeeded. Shall we talk about Ys Strategy next?

One of the best RPG in the gen. Sad to see this as the staff wanted to make a sequel with even more characters.

Idk,I like the game but it was far from the best in my opinion.The game was like the smt team trying to make a persona game,the characters are bland while the characters should be the focus of the game,the dungeons are too complicated for that type of game,I dont think I will enjoy persona 4 if the dungeons are too complicated like smt games,the story is just.......... ugh

Gameplay and dungeons were excellent to me. I love how fast and stylish everything is. Art style is amazing too and I loved the FE nods.

Hell yeah
"Gameplay and dungeons were excellent to me. I love how fast and stylish everything is. Art style is amazing too and I loved the FE nods."
And sessions combos are wonderful , more 20 sessions combos = nirvana
dual arts are very good too, a real good game with so many good ideas Why u dont likey that Finaru Batoru Song lol.^_^ FAIA EMBUREMU Is soo good.^_^
Better wait for numbers and legs first, I still remember some posts about the good opening of Metroid in Japan.8th for metroid samus returns is pretty good, the 7th place is good too for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Nintendo provived rankings by units and not by value, so don't expect any big numbers.

7th and 8th for "niche" games in US i think it's good, idk if they will have legs but 7th and 8th is good for the first month in US.

No, you can't compare, fire emblem is an old old tactical serie, mario + rabbids is a new tactical game.

Pretty sad honestly. But maybe the numbers are higher given the platform splits. Destiny and NBA could be over 600k a piece on X1 and PS4. Then with fifa and random other games you coukd still be seeing a 300k+ launch without digital.

Guys, seriously, did you think that mario + rabbids (a new tactical on a new console) would sell how much? 10 millions WW? Come on...
Really? I was surprised it hit #7. It's a great game but it's a niche genre. And this is the month Destiny 2 and a bunch of sports games came out.
Were peoples expectations really that high?
silpheed-mcd
Member
I'm very surprised too.
3-5m.
And if it was already the best selling physical third party game way back when, it would've been pretty close to a million with digital I would imagine.
So 3-5m isn't out of the question at all.
Since we're throwing out random numbers, what were you all expecting? 500k or something?

2-3m lifetime is what I was expecting for Mario+Rabbids, and I definitely think it can reach that.

Between 1 and 2m lifetime, it's a new tactical game on a new console.
