@mtstickball

well that still isn't the meaning of niche....as far as I know niche means a very small group of people

Selling 3 million + in the games industry isn't a small group of people...

thats all I was trying to point out

Actually, yes it is. I swear that people on the Intraweb are mostly ESL (no offense, Darth).

Niche:

2.a place or position suitable or appropriate for a person or thing: to find one's niche in the business world.
3.a distinct segment of a market.

Niche has absolutely nothing to do with size.

Well I thought otherwise, surprisingly many people I know feel niche has the same meaning.

Ok so name a game that isn't niche then.........

 

 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Tetris. Pokemon. Wii Sports. Gran Turismo. GTA: San Andreas.

Are you seriously going to argue with Webster over this?

Well, it's usually used to reference small portions of the market so that's not really surprising.

That isn't the limitation of the word's usage, though.
