It's called Legend Of Zelda. But I do think they are advertising this as Nintendo's big JRPG. 

Ironically, back in 2011, I read an article that stated Xenoblade Chronicles was the most pirated game of the year (with 1 million illegal downloads).

Too bad Nintendo handled that game completely wrong, or it would've been a bigger success for them.

This is what baffles me. I say to general gamers that Nintendo is using core games to gain gamers who would generally game on Xbox or Playstation. Monoliths history for the most par has been on Playstation, so true RPG fans should buy an Wii U. Same goes for Bayonetta. Nintendo is reaching out of their comfort zone to get the crowd who likes Japanese style core titles. I doubt the impact will be great though on the Wii U. The 3DS wont sell off of Xenoblade. On Nintendo consoles thats a niche title, but on the 3DS its a hot ticket item. It depends on the fanbase of the platform. Nintendo screwed the pooch with diverse audiences whom are loyal to their console over twenty years ago. The damage is greatly their and in some part due to third party. Nintendo put themselves in a positition that only Mario family games can sell the console and this gen is proving that its not enough.

No. I recon it may reach 1M lifetime, but that's a stretch for a game that didn't made 1M in the Wii with a much higher install base. It's a pretty niche game.

Yeah, something close to 1mil (950k), though both Mario Sports Mix and Super Mario Galaxy 2 had more than that. What I find funny is that 4th most pirated Wii game that year was LEGO Pirates of Carribean with nearly as much as XC with 870K.

Of course nothing beats PC with bunch of 3+ millions pirated games for that year. :/

True, but it isn't to late for Nintendo to try and establish their own core titles, and the impact may be small now, but could definitely blossom. All it would take was a show that people on Nintendo consoles want those style games. I think japanese anime influenced art styles are also a great way to go for Nintendo as it doesn't involve them having to try and bend to two different gamers wants. It doesn't have to be photo realistic, yet it doesn't have to be the child friendly cartoon stylings of Mario. They get to keep the same hardware focus, and we get what we want. This could also bring companies who want to create games in this style to Nintendo. It makes me wonder why they don't push for the Tales Of games. 

^ This, everyone seems to forget the great deal of obsticles Xenoblade had in getting to the US, and even after release the shortage of stock, and absolutely NO backing or advertisement on Nintendo Of America's part. How many people would pay $100 for a used game that is a month or two old? There was plenty of that going on at Gamestop. Who knows what  the actual numbers could have been.

On a game that had 0 advertising and sold in extremely limited supply. JRPGs are a niche genre, I'm not denying that but to say that because Xenoblade didn't sell a million without accounting for all the barriers it had to overcome is also not looking at potential. 

I'm not saying it didn't made good numbers for all its limitations and barriers. But a game that makes 1M won't set the world on fire or become a pillar for a company.

JRPGs may be a little niche, but Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts delivered big numbers either way. And the fact than X will have almost zero advertising really will make it be a niche title.

If Xenoblade Chronicles X has 0 advertising I'll agree with you, but it has been pushed to the front of Wii U promotion on certain things. You can read the rest of the comments to see in which ways as I have posted them several times, but it comes down to really singling out Xenoblade Chronices when it does make a reveal. What do we really know about any other game coming in 2015. We know a little about Splatoon, but not really all that much. I couldn't tell you if it has a story mode, or if it's just an online game. I can't tell you what weapons they will have and how  they will work in the game except for what they've shown. i could tell you about Yoshi's Wooly World and a little about Mario Maker. But the game I could tell you the most about (but still have  the most questions on) is Xenoblade Chronicles X. Why? Because they know it's going to be a big game and they put it in with the directs all the time. They're getting the name out and generating interest. 

Also, if the put half the effort into advertising it as they have Smash and Kart we'll be seeing commercials for it EVERYWHERE. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the "Settle it in Smash" and "Flip your World" commercials. I just hope they target it more towards the audience that will be purchasing it, which I feel they will. The Metroid commercials are AMAZING! It's kind of a wait and see thing as of now, but I think Nintendo is going all in on the game htis time, while before they weren't even planning on bringing it stateside.
