I'm not surprised Xenoblade 2 did well in the West. Xenoblade 1 seemed to take off not long after Shulk hit Smash Bros. And it doesn't hurt that it's the big JRPG for the Switch
Actually Xenoblade 2 is the third game. The real question is what is the next game going to be? Xenoblade 3, Xenoblade X 2, or Xenoblade [insert something new here]?
