This has been bugging me for some time now.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
Release date: November 2011
94 on Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim
Over 30 million copies sold: http://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/...alks-switch-vr-and-elder-scrolls-wait-w451761

Bloodborne
Release date: March 2015
92 on Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/bloodborne
It has sold over 2 million copies: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4s-bloodborne-sells-2-million/1100-6430572/ (that is before DLC launch - no idea how many copies it sold after that! I bought the game in 2017 so I think 3 million copies sold is not a far fetched idea.)
--------------
Both games were uber critically acclaimed and are among the best in their RPG subgenres.
Skyrim is the default RPG to buy when you buy a new PS4/ Xbox One. It is the de facto GTA5 of RPG genre.
Bloodborne is always battling for the #1 spot among the other 4 Souls games. For many, I'd even say for the majority of Souls fans it is the best Souls game available.
Time has passed - 6 years from Skyrim and 2 years from Bloodborne - yet not a hint of any kind of sequel has been announced for both. It is obvious TES6 will be released but why is Bethesda so quiet on it?!? As for Bloodborne 2 I guess the game will be never released so the question is why? Dark Souls got 2 sequels after all.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold 30 million copies, which makes it a hit on the scale of Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Mario. They joked about the game on an episode of NCIS. You can't get more mainstream than that.
