It's not like the (at least Mario Kart 8's) numbers sold will be so astronomically high that it would be out of the question to reach. And with the push of Shulk being in Smash, he will be exposed to MANY more people. Then two games (a handheld and a console) of the series are coming out at practically the same time. Why do you think they done that?

I think you may be surprised by how many people were actually curious about the character when he had his own SINGULAR reveal (which no other character comes to mind wasn't revealed along with someone else), Nintendo is pushing this. Trust me.

Few things, Shulk isn't in Xenoblade Chronicles X, all that recognition isn't gonna do anything and even if he was in Xenoblade X its not gonna help push sales that much, remember when Ike was in Melee?  That sure helped push copies of FE Path of Radience didn't it?  

You seem to be forgetting that this is a JRPG, which is a niche franchise, the ONLY one to pull those high numbers is FF, Xenoblade is nowhere near the level of recognition that FF is.  It doesn't matter if Nintendo is pushing it, it will never reach those high numbers.

Edit: And ofc Pokemon, but that's a completely different game targetting at a different audience.

Neither is Cloud or Zach associated with all Final Fantasies, but they still sell the name. 

Cloud only helped sell FF7 no other ones...

Edit: Also you didn't address my point about Ike in SSB Melee.
