according to rumours from retailers, Nintendo regarded Xeno etc as fanservice games. Apparently they didn't realise "wait people actually want this game" until it was too late.
I think there was supposed to be like 38k copies shipped for western europe or something...?
I know a guy who works at gamestop, was telling me each "shipment" they had for this game consisted of one copy per day. The dude at GAME said not to expect it on the shelves for some time as there was a backlog of a waiting list for it when they do trickle in.
Somebody really ballsed up their market research on this one.
