Dark Soul's combat isn't even close to as deep as any hack and slash game's combat. It feels good but the moveset is far too limited for me to consider it as a hack and slash game. Its closer to a simple brawler, with simple button inputs but with a twist that enemies do a lot of damage.

I haven't actually played Dark Souls, but the reasoning that it has a limited moveset is pretty poor.

If you disqualify any hack and slash game that does sell well, then yeah, hack and slash games don't sell.  If you mean that games in the DMC style don't sell, then maybe you'd have a point.

Hack and slash games are all about the moveset, same way a fighting game is all about the moveset. Take that away and almost every game with melee combat could be considered hack and slash.

You need to play both games you mentioned to know the difference. You can't call it a logical fallacy if you don't even know enough about both games to compare them.
