Nintendo published its FY3/2021 Q1 earnings release, which contains updated sales figures for many of their best-selling titles.
In the report, Nintendo reveals that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition sold a total of 1.32 million copies sold after just being on the market for roughly a month (May 29 – June 30).
This means the game is amongst Nintendo’s million-sellers such as Ring Fit Adventure. Out of the sales numbers, Japan accounted for 280,000 copies sold, while 1.04 million copies were sold in countries outside of Japan.
Notably, this figure actually outpaced the sales of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which sold around 1.06 million units in its first month on the market. Only time will tell if Definitive Edition will continue to race ahead of its sequel.
