You answered your own question. JRPGs are not as popular as they were so common sense would state that ALL JRPGS would suffer, so thats just making Xenoblade; especially Xenoblade X job that much harder. Whats keeping from being the next IT JRPG? The fact that is isnt teh IT JRPG. That honor goes to FF no matter what happens to that series it will spank others for the forseeable future. Hell I would say Kingdom Hearts would do better. 3 mil is insane. I am willing ot bet it wont reach that lifetime, especially not with Wii U numbers.

Which is sad, because that series over time has just become absolute garbage IMO.

That is not an opinion shared by most. Yes i thought 13 sucked. But that is one dud out of how many games they have released since NES days. So they kind of earned a the benefit of the doubt. Xenoblade has a LONG way to go to even get within spitting distance of that kind of acclaim and popularity

But XIII wasn't a singular event, it spanned over 3 games and nearly an entire gen of dissappointment. Not to mention the XIV disaster where the game had to be redone entirely and shipped out a second time, with free versions given to the people who originally bought it to finish up the gen. (Oh people were fired over it. When higher ups had to be removed, it isn't a sign you're doing things right.) XII seems to be Final Fantasies Wndwaker with everyone absolutely loving it or hating it, XI I can't really comment on, but it never seemed to create an uproar of popularity, so the last one that had any real universal acclaim was X.
Now with XV in development, Nomura has been removed from the head of that project. Final Fantasy has lost a lot of that acclaim, and it seems the majority of people who keep coming back are waiting for that moment they can recreate that magic from VII.
