Metroid was never big in Europe.  Check the sales difference between Americ and Europe for all the titles.  Corruprtion is the only to have even 50% of the American sales.  Many of them were just 25% of the American total.

But if this number turns out to be 25-50% of the American sales... that's still terrible.

If it's 25% of the US numbers, it will be right in line with Metroid Prime Trilogy figures which opened to 115k in the Americas.  In fact that title only sold 10k first week in Europe.

Why are you comparing a re-release to a brand new game?

GC - 21 million
Wii - 74 million.

That's why.  Because even re-releases are new games to most Wii owners.

That is the worst damage control I've ever heard. Are you serious with this?

I'm not even sure why you're calling it damage control.  Are you assuming I feel the sales of Other M are good or something?   Of course it's bombed in Europe but not really any mroe so than previous Metroid titles in Europe.  I brought up Trilogy because it's the most recent prior to Other M (and my point about the difference in GC to Wii ownership is factual with regards to re-releases beign new titles to a huge portion.  Even Nintendo believes this). 

Corruption is the only title other than Trilogy that we have 1st week data for Europe.  That was 93k.   Small compared to the 241k it opened in the Americas.
