Are racing games now in the same category as Fifa or Madden? Or still central to gaming?

Here is some depressing news for F-Zero fans:
Redout was released a couple of days ago on Steam.
Great reviews but only a couple of thousands bought it yet.

Price: $31.49 
Score rank: 87% Userscore: 93%
Owners: 1,694 ± 1,046 

It seems sales are picking up or maybe I'm reading it wrong.
I'm waiting for a console release. I'm not meeting the recommended specs and in a game like this locked 60 fps is a must.
