Yeap, (was offline). Doesn't need to be super popular, just needs a community. Pokemon sells 14mil+ per new entry and 7mil+ in others (third installments/remakes do 10mil+), but the competitive community is probably under 5% of all pokemon players. XY sold 13.8mil, i bet only 500k play competitive only :0 

Popularity=/=Competive :)

True but fighting games are a bit different since they dont make too much. I cant think of a FPS or TPS that is so niche and still on the competitive tournament scene.


Oh, so now only Fighting games qualify? :P

Its games that have strong communities. How many people still play SSB Melee? Just Hardcore fans that probably number less than 500k, but has a huge following for competitive play.

I do agree with you on FPS/TPS though. That said if say Nintendo did like what they do with pokemon to MK or Splatoon, you could potentially see a competitive scene. Some are made by Developers (Street fighter) some are made by a strong community (SSBM)
