Xenoblade Chronicleslaunched in Europe last week, and it seems to have had a pretty solid debut.
The RPG that Nintendo of Americawon’t localizedebuted at number two on theBritish Wii Charts. If you’re thinking that says very little due to the fact that the Wii has nothing else to buy, then you might be cheered to know that theoverall multiplatform chartsplaces the game at number seven, which ain’t shabby at all.
NoA’s Reggie Fils-Aime said his company wasgoing to pay attentionto the game’s progress in Europe, which implied that success in the PAL territories may inspire a North American localization. While it’s not been a major, record-shattering, megaton hit,Xenobladeappears to have had a very comfortable launch, which is more than can be said for most Japanese RPGs that aren’t calledFinal Fantasy.
That reminds me, I need to mod my Wii today …
