Great Week for Nintendo. Go on Ninty, more Wii-make from NGC, they sold soooo well !

 

They do very well

New Play Control! Pikmin

New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis

 

Only this one did bad

New Play Control! Metroid Prime

Is Metroid even big in Japan? I'm honestly asking this because I don't know.

Pikmin 2 seems to have flopped if the data is correct. 10k?

 

Metroid was big, Metroid Prime has never been big.

Metroid was never big in Japan. It's part of the reason it took so long to get sequels. The original game was hurt by being released as a Famicom Disk game. It took off in the West. The sole reason for the continued sequels to Metroid is it's popularity in the West.

The first Metroid sold +1 million and Super Metroid sold 700k, I consider that big.
