Xenoblade Chronicles 3D sold through 59% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Media Create revealed earlier this week that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D had moved 57,000 copies in its first week in Japan. A follow-up report from the sales tracker confirms that it sold through 58.66 percent of its initial shipment.
How does that stack up to the original Wii version? On Nintendo’s old console, Xenoblade Chronicles sold 83,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 76.29 percent.
Something to remember is that the Wii had a much bigger install base when Xenoblade Chronicles launched. All things considered, the New 3DS version did quite well!

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 28 Comments
The Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X website was updated today with information regarding file installation. Players can obtain four downloads from the eShop that will ultimately reduce load times in the game when using the disc version.
There are four files to download in total. Here’s a breakdown of each:
Field/Basic Data Pack (Large effect): 2GB, just basic data
Enemy Data Pack (mid): 2.7GB, loading improved on the field
Player Data Pack (mid): 3.6GB, loading times improved while changing equipment
Doll Data Pack (mid): 1.7GB, shortens time for Dolls deployement
Note that the basic data pack can be combined with the others, but you need to have that one first.
