Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has exceeded sales expectations, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 possible, says Monolith Soft

Turns out Xenoblade Chronicles 2 did well...really well. It's not often that devs behind Nintendo projects offer up sales talk, but Monolith Soft Executive Director Tetsuya Takahashi couldn't help himself. Here's what he had to say about the consumer reaction to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, as well as the Torna DLC.

"From a sales perspective, I have to say Xenoblade Chronicles 2 exceeded my expectations. 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."

With the title selling so well, could Xenoblade Chronicles 3 be that far off? Here's what Takahashi had to say.

"I'm someone who gets bored of whatever it was I did last. If the [Xenoblade Chronicles] series continues, you just might see it take a third option. It might go down a path it hasn't gone down before."
