Didn't they say a few months ago that they wanted to focus more on casuals in 2018?

Anyways, it seems like 2018 may be a year with lots of smaller games (varying from casual to hardcore), and less AAA games - although it's still too early to tell that.

Sony has a serious problem? All the games you listed are nothing compare to the amount of quality games sony have for 2018. Ill be getting ni no kuni 2, dragon ball fighter z, monster hunter world and final fantasy dissidia in January, just the month of January!

Yeah, it seems like both Sony and Nintendo will have a very solid 2018.

Depends on what the definition of 'niche' is. Which is impossible because everyone has their own idea of what is niche.

Once multiple installments start breaking the 1 million (or even 2 million) barrier, like what happened with the more recent ones, I think it's safe to say it's no longer niche.

So is persona no longer niche cause P4G broke 1.7 mil and p5 broke 1 mil

I don't think so. Constant 1 mil is not enough. Constant 3 mil plus is more like it. Metroid is niche, probably one of the more popular niche franchises but still niche. It always breaks 1 mil usually breaks 2 but never breaks 3 mil.
