Why people are saying "X" I don't know. Simply saying about its genre and the Wii U's userbase doesn't really explain it because for X to be a "flop" it would have to sell very little. A title like X, I presume, would have expectations to sell around 1m. A flop isn't just a failure, but a big one. Less than 500k is most likely going to be the "flop" area for the game, and there really isn't much to say that X is going to be a flop.

To be honest thats my guess. Xenoblade sold 850k without having real competition, and a lot hype behind it

Not sure what you mean by "competition" but 850k and 500k are pretty far apart, and Xenoblade is in high demand in the United States.  So much so that it was hard to find a used copy less than $80 (even though all the Wii games were $40 or less at this point new).  Given that the Wii U will have a stronger online focus, X is definitely going to be available for download, therefore not having nearly as much of a demand issue when it does come out.  Now, here's the thing about saying you think X will flop:  We pretty much only have a handful of several second pre-development clips of the game and not even a title either.  Regardless of that, we actually do have a pretty large amount of people hyped for the game regardless of this.  While I'm not saying it's impossible for it to flop, the odds are against you with as little to go on as you do.
