A new report provided by analyst firm PiperJaffray states that Xenoblade Chronicles was the third best-selling game in the United States during April. EA and Bioware’s Mass Effect 3 was the number one selling game which was followed by Activision’s Prototype 2 and Nintendo published Xenoblade Chronicles.
too bad i cant play this because my wii is broke as in now. :(
(is the games freze during loading time.
should i fix my wii or wait for wii u?
Depends. If money is no issue, get it fixed. If money is an issue, I’d wait for Wii U (even though it will be another 5-6 months [most probable]).
feel bad saying this but wait for wii u not much els coming for wii
I’M SEEING YOU!!!!
OK ill wait… at least i have my 3DS to keep mii happy
yes money problem is an issue for mii as i spend my money on 2 mario 3ds games and 2 pre order animal crossing.
Saving the money to get the Wii U around launch would sadly be the best option, we keep hearing about great launch games here
Surprising.
Sweeet. I pre-ordered and got the neat artbook.
i pre ordered and they didnt give me a fucking artbook >.<
Not bad for a game you can only get from 2 sources and on one platform.
But that makes the victory even sweeter. The fact that Prototype 2 and Mass Effect 3 were multiplatform and were sold by all retailers, as well as being very hyped up, shows that if Xenoblade was in the same position as those two, it may have been the best selling game in April.
well nintendo may have faith in how well these games sell in the west now hopefuly this will lead to more
This is great news! Not only do thousands of people have an oppotunity to play an amazing game, but it will encourage more developers to make RPGs and other core games for Nintendo consoles.
This is a good thing. I’m sure the hype did it though.
Hype? You mean all the hype from us Nintendo News Fans? (Because there sure as hell wasn’t as much advertising hype as there was for the other two games…
If Xenochronicles actually recieved “Hype,” it would have been #2 or #1.
That’s what meant. If it hadn’t been for operation rainfall the game would have sold like crap. I wouldn’t have bought it or even known about it if the hype hadn’t been there.
I’m glad to see it’s selling well. Keep supporting it so Nintendo will bring more rpgs to the west. Leave luck to heaven.
this game is superb. I’m almost 40hrs into it and probably still not half way to the end. a sequel for the wiiu would make me jump up and down like an idiot.
wow you put in a lot. Am like 28 hours so an no where near the end at all. I love how it can be difficult at times unlike Zelda which was VERY EASY!!!! Don’t get me wrong I LOVE ZELDA but it was a little easy for me.
I would jizz in my pants if a sequel is announced for the wii u. My wife would have leave me cause I would definitely get it and play the hell out of it on hd.
Get N or get OUT!!!!!!
well, monolith soft is developing for the wii u, so perhaps…
is this game rlly so good considering buying itafter i get kingdom hearts 3d
its the best wii game, so u better get it son!
ok thanks
If you wan’t an RPG that is as fun as watching a good Anime, if you enjoy games with vast exploration instead of a linear plot, if you like MORPGs (It feels like one to me)- Then you will like it.
WARNING: It is a DUEL LAYER DISC – My Wii has trouble playing it some days. If you have any trouble with your Wii, AT ALL, It may not work, then you’ll have to fix your Wii ($75) or wait for WiiU
i got metroid triligy it’s double layer too and my wii handles it fine
Good shit. Hopefully Nintendo of America stops being completely f’in absurd about bringin JRPGs to the states now. I’ve been wanting to slap Nintendo of America for this very reason for god knows how many years now.

90 Hours in, and it’s still not stale. My Wii hasn’t had this much playtime in a long time.
How is that possible? Xenoblade could’ve gotten lower sales due to being available only in Gamespot in the U.S. rather than other retailer stores, and the fact that the two best-selling games of April are from EA and Activision, the two most hated VG companies, shows that JRPGs still have a long way to go to gain their popularity like in the 90s w/ FFVII.
this game is amazing.. I got it this weeekend and the first 16 hs in it were an amazing adventure this is totally a must have
The game deserves these great sales. I’m so happy it’s doing well. I’ve really enjoyed the direction JRPG’s are going on Nintendo platforms.
As soon as I finish my semester, I’m taking this game home! ^_^ Certainly an easy way to pass the time until E3.
I am getting my Wii on Friday! :) This game is very hard to get. :( Sold out everywhere! :( :(
In Europe 6 months ago, upon the first month after it was released it was 1st on wii.3rd on all cames on all consoles together
