Well it's been summed up already. It doesn't fit neatly into a group so that FPS fans or adventure fans (if those even exist anymore) care too much about it. It's alot harder than most games these days (except 3 was pretty easy on the default difficulty level), ect ect. Great series, and sells well enough. Fire Emblem deserves more sales too.

Fire Emblem is an SRPG which is a niche genre so FE is unlikely to jump higher in sales unless the interest in SRPGs significantly increases to appeal to the mainstream


Or it's a SRPG with Final Fantasy in the name. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Luckily the sales don`t tell you all about the game.
Be proud if you own those games.

Final Fantasy Tactics was actually obscure initially but gained popularity through word of the mouth
