The new Nintendo Switch version of Xenoblade Chronicles has doubled the game's original sales on Wii.

Monolith Soft's Definitive Edition re-release of the game debuted in first place within this week's UK boxed game charts.

Sales were up on the Wii U's Xenoblade Chronicles X, but down slightly on fellow Switch release Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (launched during the busy 2017 Christmas sales season, and not during a pandemic). And as ever, these are physical sales only - digital downloads are not counted. It's likely many more people downloaded the Definitive Edition with shops shut.

The wording doesn't quite make clear if this is compared to launch or lifetime numbers of the original release. You'd assume the former.

But again, during a pandemic with shops closed and not counting digital numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if its lifetime sales. JRPGs are super niche in the UK even more so than the US. Unless you're final fantasy or pokemon obviously.
