Hmmm not sure if I agree with that, by that measure a lot of games with decent sales are also niche. imo niche is anything that sells under a million per game, but I wanted to hear the opinions of everyone here

Even if it's a first person military shooter?

I think sales have something to do with it, but the type of game means more. I wouldn't consider a military or sci-fi FPS niche regardless of their sales simply because it's a genre that typically sells so strongly. While JRPGs typically aren't big sellers in the west so I'd consider all but the very biggest (eg. Final Fantasy) niche.

Considerin how fps games usually sell, yeah that's a niche ip, unless you are referring to a famous franchise with an underperforming game. I guess it obviously can vary depending the type of game... selling 1m for an anime styled game is usually a success but for a cod game or almost any shooter would be horrible :
