## [](#exceeded-expectations)Exceeded expectations

Mr. Takahashi told the site that sales of both games have exceeded the company’s initial expectations on the Nintendo Switch.

> “From a sales perspective, I have to say Xenoblade Chronicles 2 exceeded my expectations,” Takahashi tells me through a translator during a recent phone interview. “We really saw more people pick the game up and experience it in the North American and European territories than we thought would do so.
>
> “It’s still early days for the Torna DLC, but from what we’ve seen in Japan, the sales of the Torna DLC are exceeding our expectations as well,” Takahashi adds.

How have you been enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and it’s expansion Torna the Golden Country?
