[NA and EU] So, is it safe to say that Xenoblade Chronicles X is Wii U's big holdiay game?

This was always going to be their big holiday game. Whether or not Star Fox was delayed.

I always feel that no one really gets how big this game is

Exactly.It actually pisses me off a little when people says that this game is niche for whatever reason and wont do good for even worse reasons.Sure, its their opinion, bit still pisses me off.

And yet, this game (almost) won't do anything for the Wii U IMO. It's not a system seller, it's completely unknown for the broad audience, and without a huge marketing push it won't do great numbers. And that's not against Nintendo at all. I wouldnt even be optimistic about Persona 5's sales without the marketing it has and the PS4's leader position, so XCX on Wii U... Mario Maker is a better system seller, mainly because it targets the usual Nintendo audience IMO. 

 

That's the fate of JRPGs without FF or DQ notoriety (and stilll without marketing, right audience and leading console) for me.
