    Yet it's still above Xbox One

    Well, I'd call that dead too in Japan.

    I get the feeling Switch baseline there could be around 75k weekly if Nintendo could supply that amount. I take it the weekly lotteries are still being held?

    In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

     Got a source of those numbers? Also this is a remake metroid game. It did well...

    I only have VGC figures for these, I assume this is where he got the numbers from too.

    Metroid Prime - 42k
    Prime 3 - 32k
    Other M - 47k
    Hunters - 33k

    Saying it did "very good" for the franchise seems a bit of a stretch when it's the worst out of the ones vgc has numbers for anyway. It did well though.
    Could struggle to get much over 500k lifetime though.

    Agreed. I'm fairly good (being modest) when it comes to reading between the lines. The game could have sold 5,000 copies and tbone would have said it did well. He thinks his knowledge of the fact that Metroid doesn't do too hot in Japan sets a precedent that allows all Metroid games to do bad, and thus, do good.

    Unacceptable.

    God damn it Japan, i bought the N3DSXL metroid console and the special edition game, i did my part.
    Only 30k? As usual the west will save Nintendo's best ips.

    Metroid sales used to be good in Japan until Retro started to work on the series. Anyway it is not fair to compare a remake to a brand new game. The only thing you can compare it to is Zero Mission (The other Metroid remake)

    However finding Zero Mission's Japan sales is kinda of difficult apprently. The only place I could find show that LTD sales are around 60k. Wikipedia has it at 69K.  However Zero Mission sold bad everywhere as it could not reach a million WW. I think Metroid 2 would be lucky to hit a million if it follows Zero Mission's path. 



    Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
    (killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
    Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

    Ps4 baseline is very good and bodes well for holiday sales. Slim sales actually increased this week.

    Still way up YOY and 2m still possible!

    Just a fantastic year for Japan, as a whole. PS4 looking better than ever, Switch hat a phenomenal start, and the supposedly dying 3DS staying solidly up year-on-year.



    Bet with PeH: 

    I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

    Bet with WagnerPaiva:
