Umm, you are right, I was also thinking it also just has to do with "appeal", I mean, Persona 5 obviously is a game that appeals to certain people, JRPGs with simulation (dating etc). I think that's a very specific game. While Final Fantasy just seemed to be about making a game in a Fantasy setting which is pretty generic. |
I think it's more about the reach of a frachise than genre itself. fifa and pes share the same genre yet pes barely sells (I'm aware there are more factors why this happens though) and you could hardly say it's mainstream anymore. Persona 5 will probably get close to 3M lt and that would mean it's one of the biggest jrpg series, it's not niche anymore
