Will Xenoblade Chronicles X outsell the original?

Agreed.

This game deserved a sizeable marketing push to the general public, to show that Wii U has "hardcore" games as well. Open world epics are hot right now, and XCX has the potential to reach beyond the existing Wii U player base.

Alas, as with every Wii U game outside of Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Mario Maker, Nintendo's sending it out like a silent fart.

That's frankly unacceptable for a game this big. This is literally the biggest game to release on the system so far, and in my opinion the first true juggarnaut title, and Nintendo is treating it like some second class citizen. Xenoblade Chronicles X is literally the reason the January Direct of 2013 is so legendary, and they are treating it like some throwaway title.

This game should have been getting dubbed story trailers and footage since well before E3. It's coming out in like two weeks and there still aren't real televised adds for this game. Everyone gets that it's big and everyone gets that there are mechs. It's the story bits that are going to compell outsiders to get the game. Lord knows it worked for MGSV and Fallout.

Watch Mario Tennis and Amiibo Festival get TV ads while XCX doesn't. :(

You can bet your arse if Sony or Microsoft had XCX as an exclusive, the world would damn well know about it.
