You are trying to say that people is buying XCX because it has the Nintendo name on it, wich is completely stupid, specially when a bunch of Nintendo games, even from well established franchises, have bombed in the system, XCX is not like any normal Nintendo game and it does not have any Nintendo Character, so is completely irrelevant if they did it, if a game like this is selling fine is a clear signal that there is a market for this kind of games on the console independently of Nintendo and that #FE comparison is lame, is like comparing Final Fantasy with Persona, both are JRPGS yet they are completely different and one sells 10 times more than the other.

Just as I never made the claim that XBX was Nintendo-like, nor did I make the claim that being published by Nintendo automatically means the game sells well. 

Anyhow, the OP makes the claim that there is a market for JRPGS on WIiU because of XBX sales.

I point out that the very next big JRPG on the system irrevocably bombed (it contains 2 IPs that are actually quite popular with the Nintendo fanbase) and therefore I disagree.

And you make a poor excuse that #FE now doesn't count.

Gotcha dude 

FE and SMT are popular in Nintendo handhelds, not homeconsoles, and most important, SMTXFE doesn't look like Fire Emblem nor like Shin Megami Tensei, is even called Genei Ibun Roku like if was its own thing, and is heavily based on Persona, a very particular serie wich niche userbase has always been in PS. So yes, its a lame comparison, XCX and GIR are too different to compare them, FE sales do not represent the sales that games like the new FF or Dragon Quest could have on the system, XCX however is a better indicator.
