I'd say let's see how well these games are marketed. A good marketing campaign can make a niche game into a hit. RPGs in the west were niche, until FFVII got this huge marketing blitz.

On the other hand, even an anticipated game can flop if barely anyone one knows when it comes out. See the relatively low sales of Metroid Prime 3.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
