Exactly... all I see is how MP3 sold an ambiguous "more," with no numbers. And leaving out PC sales is like closing one eye to the stats... You're missing the other half of the picture here. Let's wait for something a little more solid than this before any celebrating/crying. |
And let's not forget that you're talking about a new IP with BS (despite it's connections to System Shock), as opposed to a firmly established Metroid series that has a completely untarnished record (no lame 3DO Samus hiding in the closet!). That BS would sell as well as it has is a strong testament to the quality of the title, and I fully expect it to continue to sell via word of mouth and players looking to play something after Halo 3.
Now putting that aside, this is great news for Metroid, which has been the weakest of Nintendo's major series, selling far less than most Zelda and Mario games. If MP3 can exceed the sales of MP1, I think it will bode well for the sales of other series, both 1st and 3rd party.
