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.

Well it's been continuously sold for over a decade now, and bundled with the Switch.

[soulofmischief]

Wii Sports enjoyed a similar status, as it was also bundled with a console. I don't think console bundles are necessarily a fair way to count video game sales.

What's the list?!

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

There’s no fucking way they would have spent so much money on three WH titles and a fuckton of DLC to make an absolutely colossal RTS game if it was niche. Total War Warhammer single handedly saved WH Fantasy with how well it sold.

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.
