they'll probably push Xenoblade as the big holiday game.

Even though I think Star Fox is pretty niche, I think that Xenoblade is a lot more niche and would really not be that good of a choice, but then again they don't have a lot of options. Maybe Animal Crossing Party?

STop that Niche BS. A good game is a good game. end of discussion, they could market the fuck out of xenoblade chronicles X, makes it a less niche game now

"Normal" audience doesn't care much about offline MMO-jrpg, you know. Xeno series is a really niche whether you like it or not.

It's hardly just that.  First off, MMO esque combat gameplay didn't kill Dragon Age Origins and the DA series as a whole.  And MMO structure (what this doesn't have) obviously hasn't stopped Destiny.  And this game is a massive open world RPG (1 mainstream aspect), scifi (with a very western aesthetic outside of the characters (specifically the faces cause the armor isn't Japanese 99% of the time)) (2 mainstream aspects), exploration emphasis (3 mainstream aspects).  Xenoblade Chronicles has no *reason* to be niche, it's just a fairly young game that needs marketing.  The only thing I would consider a potential issue are the character model faces but as TES and Fallout have proven over and over, character model quality does not matter THAT much :P
