Some may argue Metroid sales are "niche" but I don t think so- Those sales are pretty strong overall and it is a franchise that has lasted the test of time- As far as the IP/brand there is no way it is "niche" it is prob Nintendo's 3rd most famous brand after Mario and Zelda (I m not counting Pokémon)

These sales are over a LT, Metroid often sells something like 300k or so upfront and then legs take it past the million mark, look at OM for reference, you may not count it but Pokemon is the second most famous brand in fact I doubt Metorid is even in the top 5 as Fire Emblem has probably over taken it and Animal Crossing demolishes it. Splatoon may overtake it as well.

Metroid is only famous to those on forums and such.
