Not that I really care about this back and forth, but I do have a question. What defines a mainstream game? At what point do sales say 'mainstream' versus 'niche', if we're talking 5+ million units...how is that mainstream? And really, when you get down to it, aren't there like a paltry handful of games that could be considered, as such? Gran Turismo, CoD, BF, TLOU, GTA, Halo? Even then...none of those games even sell to half their user base...so I'm just curious how people define mainstream?

Brand recognition. Mario, Halo, Zelda, CoD, Battlefield, GT, GTA, FIFA etc. Games for which, when saying the name, the vast majority of people will know of right off the bat. These games are also usually annualized and carry a very big playerbase all on their own and will, at times, be the only game owned for the console or are hyper-sellers like GTA, Destiny, CoD.
LBP is in the same space as DKC.
