Maybe it wasn't hyped in the gaming community(haven't been keeping tabs on it), but Rare and Microsoft really blitzed the media with it. I have seen so many commercials for Banjo. They have been running it constantly on ESPN, especially leading up to Black Friday. Haze commercials also constantly ran on ESPN leading up to the release. So in this regard, I would say that it did get Haze-ed.
They should have made it a platformer, since the other Banjo games were good. I haven't played it, so I can't say whether its good or not. But pretty bad sales so far for rare.
Fact: Earthbound is the greatest game ever made
