Can Fire Emblem really be called niche anymore? It seems to have crossed over to the mainstream ever since the 3ds happened. I'm pretty sure it can be considered a heavy hitter at this point.  Sure, maybe it isn't a Pokemon or Mario Kart, but it's still a pretty popular franchise now.

Depends on what the definition of 'niche' is. Which is impossible because everyone has their own idea of what is niche. 

Once multiple installments start breaking the 1 million (or even 2 million) barrier, like what happened with the more recent ones, I think it's safe to say it's no longer niche.
