Xenoblade, or should I say Monado: Beginning of the World – shot up the Amazon charts over the weekend. It actually took the top spot as the best-selling video game on the site over the weekend. It’s still hanging in the top ten.
Given Xenoblade’s success and attention on Amazon, I suppose it was inevitable that even the retailer said something about “Operation Rainfall” on their Twitter account. Earlier today, the following message was posted:
“If you were curious about Monado (Xenoblade) for Wii, @IGN has a nice article up in support of @OpRainfall. http://go.ign.com/jrDA2f”
It’s kind of funny to see how much the prices in North America and Europe differ. On the NA site, this reward would probably cost around 600 coins. In the UK, though, it’s 2,500! One thing to consider is that European members most likely receive more stars for registering games. Or they’re somehow able to secure more points.
