Given what little we actually saw of the game this should come as a surprise to no one. As nice as running around in those enviroments looked, they were more or less lifeless and given the success of BotW, I am sure they are looking to implement a much lively and interactive world compared to their past games.
Also with Mario and Fire Emblem Warriors dropping this winter and hopefully some other strong third party games with RPG elements like Skyrim, probably Monster Hunter XX or maybe sort of Kingdom Battle, there is no need for Xenoblade 2 to have to be rushed out for this holiday. Heck, for NA I would be surprised if we see this game before May 2018 at earliest.
