Why do Nintendo's new Switch IPs get called "failures"?

As far as I know, not a single Fire Emblem game has hit even 3 million, yet they release spinoffs, remakes and new games as if it was a "high class IP". 

Fire Emblem is a long running series of critically acclaimed JRPGs, it already has its legacy and committed fanbase. I don't see how anyone could ever compare that to something like Arms.

Arms has to start somewhere. For people to say they won't be surprised to never see a sequel when it has sold very well for what it is. Arms has sold more than most Fire Emblem games. In time it has the potential to leave a legacy.
