I think his argument is that some franchises sell to a specific group of people. The average video gamer won't buy a Final Fantasy "just because" like they will other games...Which is why he said "niche"
Some franchise games have very specific userbases that they cater to, even if the content isn't designed for a specific group.
Halo is a very good example..Huge player base, great selling, but it's still focused on the hardcore FPS market, therefore could be considered "niche" because it's not focused to Suzie-goes-plays-Tetris.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
