Maybe I'm wrong, but it kind of seems like you see calling it niche as an insult? It seems to me it's actually the opposite. Congratulating this game for selling so well despite being a niche title is a huge compliment in my eyes. |
It really hinges on how people term niche , as an adjective , a niche product is one that targets a specific set of people , take jrpg's in general where titles like Final Fantasy, Pokemon and Dragon Quest have broadened the audience over the years ,so it seems clear that starting with P4 and the momentum picking up with P4 Golden and continuing on with P5, Persona broadened it's audience to the point that we now see it on the front page of magazines and the number of reviews it received is well above average , so it needs no longer to be called niche.
The other argument is what niche was it filling , or was it just another jprg series with medium sales in a genre where outside the big players that I have previously mentioned, the best of the rest was the last time I checked, with 1.6 million sales Star ocean till the end of time.
