Yes and no. Both the examples of that type of RPG you list make scads of cash, as do a lot of similar titles - turn based tactical games are pretty damn popular, as are super old school wizardry clones on the DS, and a well done
4e game, I think, could be really successful. The only problem is, it doesn't fit "the formula."
The genre isn't decidedly niche, unless you mean "American game publishers have no business sense, and have
decided to make the genre
niche, because of their allergy to money." I suppose that makes it "decidedly" niche as well ;p
And yet another word from our sponsors
