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. 

I agree and Nintendo is doing this more and more.  Xenoblade got a slot at the Gamescom stream, was one of the first titles announced with a gameplay trailer in their launch event, was the opening trailer in the Nintendo Spotlight, and got a 50 minute demo at a good timeslot on the Treehouse.  Let's hope Nintendo follows through this time though.  XCX got good treatment up until the last few months where it all fell apart.  This time Nintendo has given every significant game a marketing push all to itself, so hopefully that means Xenoblade will also get to have its moment in the marketing spotlight.
