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.

It should definitely be more in the spotlight as a series, even this specific game despite it not really doing much for me emotionally with the trailers. It definitely fills a void in Nintendo's genre diversity and though only through technicality can it actually be considered first party (Nintendo buying the devs), the series stands up to their level of quality in games and game design. This series should be just as recognizable as LoZ, mind you I'm not saying from a financial standpoint but more so that Xenoblade should pop into everyones minds when someone says Nintendo.
