Across all platforms! Seen here:http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=28-xu0,135 sorted by most anticipated/best selling. It can also be seen on the GameStop homepage.

Hopefully this means good sales when it hits the US in april! Have you pre-ordered Xenoblade yet???

Yes @Gamestop

Good man, you will enjoy it. You're a fan of OOT, which is convenient, because you'll love this game, the character models are about the same :P (I kid, but seriously, they will jar you for the first hour or so then it blends in lol)

I had to wait nearly 4 hours before getting into the inferior to Ocarina of Time title we refer to as Skyward Sword just to get into the first dungeon, unlike Ocarina of Time which I could get its first dungeon within the first hour.

Whether it be one hour or five hours to get to wherever Xenoblade goes, I'm patient.

Yeah, Xenoblade is going to hit the fan within that first hour, the tutorials are subtle yet effective, and you're not having your hand held for hours on end.

1. That's a pathetic list

2. Anyone buying it at Gamestop is part of the problem

3. It's no wonder that a rare game only getting one printing that Nintendo didn't even want to bring over here is having a lot of preorders

Yes, yes I am

The game is also sold at Nintendo's store itself. Somewhere that does not buy and sell used games.

That's where I'm getting mine

I played the first hour or so at a friend's house (it was a pirated copy. I regret nothing), and it moves pretty fast. I won't say what happens, but it's a far cry from the slow tutorials found in Skyward Sword.

Why do the eyes of the characters in this game look like blurry blobs... I mean they made the rest of the game look nice, but the eyes look like they've been cut and pasted on with construction paper or something.

I have never, and I mean NEVER! returned, traded, gave away or sold away a game in my life. I have kept and have always kept each and every one of my games across every platform.

Xenoblade will not falter my 100% consistency.

What about Last Story? After playing both, I'd have to say Last Story completely butchers that single player mmorpg called Xenoblade!!!

You also won't get it until the end of April. I hate Gamestop too but it's the only practical way to get it soon unless copies start showing up on ebay.

It's about two pages back I believe, of course it doesn't even have a concrete release date here yet, nor is it GS exclusive, so I don't expect much buzz on the charts for a while.

Also, you speak blasphemy!

I've got my copy preordered, which means I unfortunately have to delay my plan to purchase Ace Combat and Shinobi for 3DS. But I have a feeling I won't have a hard time tracking those two down, so Xenoblade is worth the wait.

It isn't anymore. Mass Effect 3 currently holds the top 2 spots with Xenoblade now in 3rd game-wise, and 6th when you add in point cards for downloadable titles.

For unreleased games, Xenoblade still holds top spot. Looks like I'm pre-ordering come Friday.

GameStop sells it for $49.99 flat. Nintendo asks for $7 for shipping and $7 for tax. I'll swallow my pride and go to GameStop.

Bleh. I still don't know if I should get it or not. I've really wanted to play a good rpg lately, but I've been let down by so many in the past that it's kind of hard to pick one up again.

I can certainly say that it's my most anticipated. Had it pre-ordered for a while now. I'll probably get The Last Story, too.
