>In an April 2016 financial report, Koei Tecmo revealed that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 collectively shipped 190,000 copies within a month.
>In its release weekend, The Last of Us Part II sold over four million copies worldwide, becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive, beating Marvel's Spider-Man's 3.3 million and God of War's 3.1 million in the same period.

"Popularity" is such a subjective term. TLoU2 sold by the million in a weekend, that's a definition of popular. DOA is an established franchise with diehard fans. That's also a definition of popular.

Indignantly stomping your proverbial feet because you refuse to believe that someone could possibly enjoy something you don't isn't going to change the fact that demographics have shifted design choice.
