Sorry, you're right. Globally It appears to be the 8th best selling console game this year. But more importantly it consistently sells those sort of numbers every single year without fail. Far from a niche game (or at least its a very popular and extremely profitable niche).

In the total global videogame market.

So, yes, mostly in the US.
