Glad the game is doing so well.

I mean, it's doing okay. Reaching number one during a lapse in major releases doesn't really mean much no matter what the game. For example, did you know that Last of Us 2 will be number one when it releases? At the end of the day, I'm just not seeing even 10% of the conversation and attention Animal Crossing got just a couple of months prior for Xenoblade, which makes sense considering it's a remaster of a game that has already been released twice before.

Selling even 10% of animal crossing is amazing. That game sold insanely good.

[luckytrouble]

Although that isn't completely false, you totally misinterpreted what I said.

As an aside though, let's say Animal Crossing sold 300k its first week (which would be insanely good first week numbers). 10% of that would only be 30k which wouldn't be impressive in the slightest.

Except that Xenoblade DE is currently the top selling game in US, UK, and Japan. When Nintendo finally release the digital sale number, we’ll see how many units this game has sold.

Animal Crossing has more broad appeal. Xenoblade is more of a niche game.

Nintendo is doing fantastic!

GTAV still lingering there. Heh.

[UnSelf]

It’s truly like something out of a movie

[Neonridr]

maybe if they released it on Switch they'd be back to #1.
