According to GoNintendo.com, copies of Xenoblade Chronicles being sold from Nintendo’s online store are currently backordered. However, earlier reports state that it has been on “backorder” since it was first put on sale on their site. Regardless of accuracy, it is fair to note that if it winds up being true the best option right now if you want to receive your copy day 1 is to pre-order from GameStop. While this news may be an inconvenience for you , on the bright side, the game is selling!
