Joke thread? Only a select bunch of Nintendo fans care for Xenoblade.

*sigh*

Past numbers taken in a vacuum are not an accurate means of measuring present or future potential for success.

Need I remind you that prior to Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls was very niche.  Then Morrowind over doubled the audience, and then Oblivion doubled that, and the rest is history. 

Or remind you that platformers were once the dominant genre in gaming.

Or remind you that at one time JRPGs seemed poised to become the biggest thing since sliced bread.

Or remind you that Xenoblade Chronicles X is an exclusive game for the least sold console in the market getting released later in the west? No one will care about it, except some Nintendo fans and a few reviewers. And that's it, just another great game with potential to hit 90 on Metacritic. While that's something amazing, there are tons of games to will do the same thing this year.

It takes more than a 90 meta game from an obscure franchise to outshine one of the most praised franchises in the whole industry. Only way this could happen is if Zelda U ends up being a trash.

Disagree with this in general, but especially that.  But I am not going to even try to argue this since you are clearly entrenched.
