Here’s How Xenoblade And Metroid: Other M Did In Japan

Recommended Videos

This past week, we came across a page out of Japanese sales tracker Media-Create’s 2010 report, highlighting the sales of thirteen Wii games released in 2010, including Xenoblade, Zangeki no Reginleiv and Metroid: Other M.

 

During its first week, Xenoblade sold close to 83,000 units. Media-Create’s figures indicate that it ultimately went on to move nearly twice that amount. Meanwhile, Metroid: Other M, which debuted around 45,000 units, sold about 71,000 copies by the end of 2010.

 

We suspect this list is likely part of a larger ranking of new Wii releases in 2010, although there’s no way to be 100% certain without the rest of the report, which we don’t have. Here’s the list of figures we found:
