That isn’t at all how it works, you just create your own standards to dismiss games you don’t like or want to consider mainstream. Every new major Pokemon release is easily mainstream, and BOTW is on pace to equal that or surpass it. One thing is for sure, your rules are yours alone. |
This is pretty much true. I mean, c'mon...a game selling 10+ million is pretty miuch mainstream. The Last of Us did like what, 15 million across PS3 and PS4? That game IS mainstream. Most will recognize these titles if you mention it to them. Now, a game like Shadow of the Colossus?There is a niche title for you. Well respected and known amongst the cult following who appreciate it, but not by the mainstream public.
As for GTA??? That game is in a class of its own. Even away from the likes of COD. I mean, when a game sells like 80+ million copies that is like what Michael Jackson did with his album Thriller for the music industry. We're talking popular culture phenomenon levels here. Well above anything that is mainstream.
