Look at it this way. Marvel shot themselves in the foot for the last four years (2012-2016) negating, ignoring and denying the success X-Men has had. Hell, from the late 70s to the late 90's X-Men and Spider Man were essentially keeping the company afloat. Regardless, Marvel did everything they could since Disney bought them, until very recently, to un-promote (if that's a word lol) the X-Men.

So imagine their shock last summer when they finally gave in and made an X-wave that wasn't an exclusive (the TRU deal). And it sold extremely well. They likely had another wave (this wave) planned already anyways, and could always have cancelled if the X-wave from last year bombed. What they didn't realize is how huge the desire for X-Men product was. And as such they couldn't plan it out more than 2017 to get that product in people's hands. They likely had a plan for one wave last year and one wave this year, and because of production turn around time, that's all they could get to us.

I do expect that will change come 2018. I imagine the next few years after this year will see at least 2 waves of X-men product. I could be wrong, but I strongly feel it's not. It's just a matter of demand vs. production time.
