This release, however, comes in the Switch's prime, on a system that's been very successful even among the core gamer audience that Xenoblade appeals to, with a reasonable amount of promotion, and with no appreciable supply constraints (even without considering the digital option). For a lot of people, this genuinely is their first real chance to play the game, which is a real shame because it's a masterpiece that has been hobbled by NoA's refusal to let it be successful.

Indeed. If NoA hadn't fought like it's life depended upon preventing a North American release for nearly two years, the game probably would've done much better on the Wii.
Even as hobbled as its eventual very limited release was, it was so popular in the U.S. that I think it outsold Japan.
I will never forgive or forget what NoA did.
