Persona 5 sold exceptionally well, so I don't understand where you got the idea that it did poorly.

Some games are made with lower budgets, either because a larger budget is too risky, not need for the top of game, or the dev/publisher simply can't afford larger budgets. That isn't going to change, and those low budget games just don't need to sell 20m+ to make money. They can still make a good profit on lower sales.

And why would devs blow money they don't have making a COD clone instead of a game they want to make and they know the fanbase is there for when simply being a COD clone doesn't guarantee success. One of your examples (Titanfall 2) is a COD clone that flopped horribly after all.

Well that gives me hope at leasr because i always worry for those niche games. We mostly see all this hype for shit like the next Madden, Assassins Creed, COD while relatively little is heard about Hellblade, Nioh, Nier Automata and so forth. 

About Titanfall, not every shooter is a COD ripoff and its a huge disservice especially to call TitanFall 2 that. That game had huge innovations in multiplayer such as the movement abilities (which COD actually ripped off) and mechs and the second installation had an amazing single player campain.
