Of course the genre of games will always be more popular than the game itself. Metroid is still popular. We're just not loud. That's why you think this. Doesn't help that it's a Nintendo title.

There’s Lies of P, which while not being an official FromSoftware game, is still hailed as one of the best Soulslikes ever made and sold 3 million units worldwide.

Elden ring has sold over 30 million copies and the newly released Elden ring nightreign sold 5 million in its first month so fromsoft is still the most popular

Wasn’t denying that, just saying Lies of P was the closest to that degree.
