To be fair, 1) BotW was pushing its hardware absurdly hard and 2) at least part of the reason for that specific delay was the development for multiple platforms, both the demands of said development and wanting it at launch of the Switch.  So I'm not writing it off until we see what they show at E3.

I'm not writing it off either, I'd just be very surprised if it releases this year in the West. 2018 just seems more likely to me given that it's only been 2 years since XCX, and previous Xenoblade games have seen significant gaps between their Japanese and Western releases.
