I think you're getting head of yourself and having nultiple system if you are a gamer is only natural. No one system would ever be enough for me. ^^

I guess they'll be banking on Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is a risky move. Nobody since the 1990's has relied on an RPG game to sell consoles during the holidays.

You probably mean JRPG.

Skyrim was a magical time for 360/PS3

Honestly, I fail to see why character faces are that important.

And it doesn't need to be bundled with any of those games.
If it's gonna remove it's "niche" nametag and stand alone as a legit AAA franchise for Nintendo.
It needs to do just that, do it alone.
And to do that, they need to market the hell out of it. Same way they've been doing with all their big time Wii U titles since Mario Kart 8.
I remember back when almost nobody outside of Nintendo Fan forms knew about Splatoon and those people said Splatoon was gonna bomb and barely reach Wonderful 101 numbers.
One fantastic marketing campaign later... Look where it is now. And it didn't need Mario or co. to do it, it did it by itself
Xenoblade has the advantage of having a preestablished fanbase. Now it needs huge marketing to extend that fanbase exponetially.
A Xenoblade stand alone bundle + $50 price cut world certainly help things as well

I hope that the Xenoblade Chronicles X localization team gets their shit together to have it ready for Black Friday. The positive consequence could be that they give XCX the marketing push that it deserves.

Star Fox is one of the Nintendo franchises I don't really care about.
