Why is Metroid always listed as one of the big three? Nintendo have plenty of franchises that sell more. Donkey Kong and Super Smash bros just to name two, if you count Pokemon as a Nintendo franchise (and it is, so count it!) it really should be over both metroid and zelda. As far as I understand here it's about the quality of the Metroid series, but at the same time, the likes of Smash bros also are unquestionable when it comes to quality. Also, when people name the big three of this and that, they usually use sales not quality. 

What do you think? Should Metroid be changed out? Or is the place deserved?
