Sales aren’t a good metric of determining whether something is mainstream or not. Notably, Anthem had over $100 million in sales. I wouldn’t exactly consider Anthem to be a mainstream game.

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.
I honestly didn’t know that sales figure for Anthem, that’s gross. They stole peoples’ money. That said, Anthem is an exceptional outlier. The difference between God of War and Anthem is that people play and played God of War.
Oh yeah God of War did horribly on PS2.
Wait no, it did phenomenally.

What metric would you approve of? Awards? It got a bunch of Game of the Years
