I predicted this a while ago. Zelda for Wii U didn't make it out this year so they had to bank on Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'm sure Nintendo is hoping that the introduction of the Xenoblade characters and overall franchise in Smash Bros. will generate interest just like how there was demand for the Fire Emblem series in North America after Marth and Roy were featured in Melee.
