They said "hot men." Not "creepy rapists," Dennis.
Do people really give a shit about Starfox anymore? The franchise hasn't had a great game since 64, the genre it's in isn't setting the sales charts on fire, the graphics on the new one look Gamecube level, and it's probably gonna end up with the Platinum curse. Xenoblade X, if pushed, has a lot more to offer gamers nowadays... the problem is, it won't be.

Oh hey, I can make throwaway lines as well.
The point I'm making is: Xenoblade has no "majority" mindshare. Nobody is going to buy a Wii U for EITHER. But if Starfox is good? It has more a chance of getting converts or people that grew up with Starfox than Xenoblade does.
That's where my "...for you" jab comes in. You like Xenoblade and JRPGs. That's great, but it's more niche than Starfox's IP recognition and thereby wouldn't beat Starfox in terms of getting people.
