It's wild to me how Team Sonic Racing sold more than Total War Three Kingdoms

I think in general Total War and its genre is relatively niche. While almost everybody is up for a bit of cartoony racing.

I tbink it's easy to underestimate this - everyone seems surprised when I tell them Mario Kart 8 is the 5th best selling game of all time.

On other hand TW Warhammer III sold surprisingly well to me. I would have expected it to be much more niche...

PC games are relatively niche compared to console gaming for one. And RTSes tend to be heavily PC biased from the control schemes. Although these days you should be able to keyboard and mouse to a console due to being USB or Bluetooth connected anyway, using it on a couch without a desk would be awkward.

RTSs aren’t popular anymore. Took me by surprise too.

Team Sonic Racing is also available on iOS and android stores while Total War Three Kingdoms is PC only. The price must also be widely different, so the sales numbers are complex to compare.

... Why? It would be quite surprising if it were the other way around.

I'm quite surprised that TW:3D sold that many copies, tbh.

Critters doing zoomies will always be popular as a game concept.
