I gotta say i'm surprised by this comment.

Given the sales numbers (vgchartz's) either he exaggerated or their expectations were really, really low for some games.
For example, Doom, which released pretty at the same time as Sonic Forces, sits at 351.783 units, whereas SF sits at 618.334 units. This is Doom vs a critically panned title...
Also, WF2: TNC, is, in it's 3rd week, selling a third of what Doom sold in the same time frame.

I really can't comprehend how ALL games were "hugely popular".

 Doom released a year after it launched on PlayStation and Xbox. Sonic forces launched at the same time on all systems. I don't think that's a good comparison.

 

I think that if we read between the lines here, and apply some logic, what we really learn is that  Bethesdas porting costs are low.  

It is also good to remember that a game like Sonic Forces, besides the fact it launched hand-by-hand with other versions, wasn't sold at full price and had gone some massive sales both on retail and eShop since it's launch while Doom is full price since launch day.
