    Sales aren’t a good metric of determining whether something is mainstream or not.

    Uh.

    Maybe you could make a case that the popularity of a genre is separate from the popularity of a game. A single-game genre might be less popular than a genre with ten entries, even if the single game sells better than all of the games in the other genre.

    But I have a hard time saying that popularity can’t be linked to something being mainstream.
