People just have the bar set in orbit along with some slight double standards imo they'll say Labo and Arms are failures for what ever reason at those sales yet you look at Metroid games which sell with in the same amount of units and some of the same people defend the series sales as adequate while trying to maintain that the series is still big despite the former games selling more or less the same well in Arms' case it's outsold the majority of Metroid games and even has sales comparable to major fighting games like SFV and Tekken.

People are more willing to dismiss a game as a failure if it's not to their taste or geared to them which coupled with a high bar leads to what you've noticed, the truth of the matter is these games aren't failures they just didn't sell with in the insanely high region some first party games do.
