I know, hard to believe, but on the other hand, in numbers more people play Xiangqi!
But no Xiangqi tournament for me, too frustrating.

I think the same applies here: chess is a way more international game, it has a huge chess federation and many business work around chess as a sport and a subject of entertaining. In that sense, chess is more popular.
I'll look up the statistics thing about the number of publications for both games. It's interesting.
