Not sure but if they are then I'm looking forward to Tales of Zestria. Can't really think of anything else maybe the second instalment of D4 if it actually happens.

I'd consider anything that sells under a million units to be niche so yes, Tales of Zestria would probably count ...

Well it will probably sell less then a million since only three of the Tales games have crossed the one million mark so far on one console but if you include games that where on multiple consoles and digital sales the number is higher. D4 is super niche then since it sold less then 100K so far.

Not sure if i will get to play it, but Rodeo and the sky soldier on Wii U looks great, i hope it makes it to the west. It looks very reminiscent of Nights

I think it was a big mistake on Namco's part to not port Tales of Zestiria on the PS4 ...

They could have sold tons of units in North America since it's practically the only console with momentum and the proper audience ...

Should've taken notes from Atlus IMO ...

Seems like, unless its COD, people are calling everything niche. Then again, "hardcore gaming" also appears to be crumbling down to only FPSs - and generic military ones at that.

Street Fighter isnt a niche brand. The only reason the game might sell less is because the game gets diluted by unnecessary expansions.
