Niche absolutely means sale. If a game doesn't seem very appealing to the market, then it won't sale as well. Of course sales =/= quality but again sales does show the appeal of games to the market. And games can have the same genre as other popular game but have very limite sales. Like Xenoblade Chronicles. It's a JRPG and open world. But the game fails to sale over 2 million. That makese Xenoblade Chronicles a niche, too. If you want to be technical, then you call these game super niche. But the worrying trend about games like Metroid, Castlevania, and Megaman is the fact that these games are bought primarily by their fans which seem to be decreasing each generation. |
So every game that sells poorly is a niche game and it has nothing to do with something like marketing or it just being a bad game?
