People really don't like to credit Sony for Niche man's success huh. Activision made Niche man games until 2014 and they barely sold over 3 million per game. Sony and insomniac's Niche Man PS4 sold over 23 million units and counting. So yeah, it being a massive brand has little to do with its success. By that logic, Avengers should have been a massive success as it is a Much Bigger brand than Niche Man. Anyway, To each their own. |
Literally nobody called it niche, it's a multi-billion dollar brand.
The old games took place before superhero mania took off in the 2010s, at a time when software sales across the board were far lower than today, and didn't get the kind of push that AAA exclusives get nowadays, it's a completely apples to oranges comparison.
Avengers failed cos people were tired of live service shit. Spiderman by contrast is a regular AAA action adventure, one of the most popular genres in gaming. It selling well was as predictable as Mario selling well.
