You may recall an interview conducted by Japanese outlet 4Gamer earlier this year with Monolith Soft boss Tetsuya Takahashi and Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada. It was here we learned that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies as of March 2019.

That same interview also had some interesting discussion about Nintendo and Monolith Soft, which we’ve now translated. At one point, Takahashi was asked about possibly experimenting with other genres, to which he seemed unsure about given Monolith’s history and his love of the genre. Takahashi compared the situation to manga artist Hirohiko Araki, who said he would never draw anything other than JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies worldwide through March 2019. That news comes straight from Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, who shared the news in a crossover interview with Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada. Takahashi indicated that sales are essentially peaking at that number, which makes sense given how the RPG has been out for quite some time.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launched in December 2017. It was at 1.42 million copies sold by June 30, 2018. That number moved up to 1.53 million units by September 30 that year.

Thanks to PDApanda for the tip.
