I think Nintendo just doesn't care. Nintendo doesn't put in the research into smaller niche Japanese RPG's to see if they will sell because they are focused on making Mario and Zelda push systems.

It's sad though because XenoBlade Chronicles could have easily pushed 1 million units too if it were released in 2009, like it was in Japan, or even as a 2010 title. The Last Story could have also done significantly better, and kept the Wii relevant for longer.

It would help them a whole lot with the market that theyre wanting. Theyre clearly trying to hit the sweet spot with the core audience... Its games like Fire Emblem that will bring them in.

Xenoblade could have been pretty big had they released it early and kept it in stock, kinda like how Sony did with Demon's Souls in America. Its a shame really that they ignore the smaller games, but pile constant marketting on Mario. If Xenoblade got 5% of the marketting buget that NSMB2 got, then the game would have been an easy Million seller.

This game is not a JRPG. It's a strategy game with RPG elements. :P

Pfffft, its a SJRPG!
