I think it's going to do substantially better than the recent Retroids for 2 reasons...

1) the Japanese will actually buy it
2) Nintendo will actually advertise it


...2m+ worldwide is a lock imo. Might even pass 3m depending on the quality of the game.

Japan never got into Super Metroid either though. Sure itll sell better because its sourced is Team Ninja, and it isnt in first person, but will it be a substancial difference? I doubt it.

Super Metroid sold over 600k in Japan, the same as Twilight Princess.
