The latest data from Media Create reveals that Xenoblade Chronicles X sold 85,586 copies in its first week in Japan. While it didn’t set the charts on fire, the game did quite well all things considered.

When the original Xenoblade came out on Wii, it sold 83,000 copies in its first week. You may recall that Nintendo was working with a much, much higher install base with that console at the time. It’s also worth noting that the recently-released New 3DS version sold 56,923 copies in its first week.

Separately from Media Create’s report, Dengeki indicates that Xenoblade Chronicles X sold through 70 percent of its initial shipment.
