Yeah, but you're still wrong. Quality and popularity are only incidentally related, especially within the scope of a franchise like this. Sales =/= quality.
And no. I just listed two counterexamples (and very good ones) that disprove the point of quality games always being popular. Eternal Darkness is another. I guess I could keep going with this list, but I don't particularly want to.
You realize, though, that all the main series Pokemon games sold better than FFVII, right? Twice as well, bare minimum? And they're in the same genre, even.
