Hmm..makes sense, I wonder why they chose this particular title. They may be trying to appeal to the audience that played Brawl. Like how the 1st main FE game released after melee was the best selling one, they may be trying to repeat that success, maybe draw some more fans into the series.

In that regard they're doing a pretty good job.

I think it's partly a matter of timing (not much else releasing around it for... well, any Nintendo console; 3DS sales in the West slacking a bit) and partly a reflection of Nintendo's confidence in the game. They really seem to have put some tremendous production value into it. It's the right game at the right time.
