This won't be true anymore once Starfield comes out.SF sells way worse than fantasy, whether it's games, movies or literature. Always have always will.

There's RPG-lite scifi games that are equally successful to Skyrim e.g., borderlands 2 is just below skyrim on that list.

Shooters are specific. First, you don't have a fantasy shooter to compare and second, fantasy is not really suitable for shooters.

It serves its niche, but your typical fantasy RPG tends to sell better than a legit SF one.FNV is a 100% RPG and it is based off FO3's systems, which means that FO3 is an rpg too (albeit a shit one).

Only if you want to split hairs over what defines science fiction (cue grogs screaming "science fantasy!!").

I wouldn't say the gameplay of either is a 100% RPG but if people want to say FNV is a RPG but 3 isn't, then they're missing something somewhere. What you said is practically correct. If we consider FNV a RPG then FO3 is also one. Just not good.FNV is a 100% RPG and it is based off FO3's systems, which means that FO3 is an rpg too (albeit a shit one).

From what rusty posted Fallout 4 sold well compared to New Vegas, so I don't think its weaker RPG elements hurt it. I'd guess most "normies" were happy to have it feel more like a real FPS in combat, and the dialog system is like other popular franchises.
I've postulated that Fallout 4 was a disappointment for Bethesda and that they've been hesitant to work on TES 6 on the basis that it can't possibly perform as well as Skyrim either, a fear which is probably even greater with the abysmal launch of Fallout 76 and the backlash against the company as a whole and their core game design principles.
Fallout 4 not only got rid not only of ALL rpg elements but ALSO of cool gun mechanics.
The only really difference between Fallout 4 and Far Cry 4 is dialog trees.
