The first trailer I think was inflated due to being part of the big Switch reveal which was probably the highest profile Nintendo event ever in terms of online exposure.

XB2's trailers so far look to me like they could've been from pretty much any run-of-the-mill JRPG from the past 5 years or so. Aside from the awesome music, nothing really makes it stand out.

Well the second trailer could have been overshadowed by say Mario, or Metroid news, ect.

You ahve to remember that as popular as Xenoblade may seem, it is still a niche game. It's not a Final Fantasy. Hell it's not even a Fire Emblem. Maybe a fire emblem before Awakening, but not the now newly hit status Fire Emblem has achieved. xenoblade has not reached the masses yet.

Oh I'm fully aware it is niche, but that doesn't really change my point, which was not that it's a mainstream blockbuster, (though I do believe as a franchise it has room to grow) and more that Ninty just isn't doing a good job of hyping it up.
