Fire Emblem 3 Houses, sold 4 million+, watch out for Fortune Weaves this year

X Com 2 also sold over 4 million 

Disco Elysium 5 million units

Tactical RPGs (as in, gameplay-wise) are not exactly niche per se, they simply lack production value that are marketable for non TTRPGs nerds. A full voice acted with complex character models Disco Elysium would have sold close to 10 million range. Im 99% sure the next Divinity will sell close to the 10 million range

I forgot Disco Elysium and Fire Emblem, i guess the genre isn't niche then.

XCom is tactical strategy not RPG.

Disco elysium proves it cause that game is just dialogue with no combat. Gamers want deep complex games that last a long time and that are difficult also, Elden Ring proved that without doubt but also Betheada before it with Skyrim and Fallout even though those are only surface level complex. I think BG3 might have won over a whole new generation too, younguns who don't remember the joy of these games in the 90's.
