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.

3,866,508 Wiis - Metroid Prime 3: 93,462 units

28,476,851 Wiis - Metroid: Other M: 32,210 units

No matter how you spin it the sales for Other M are currently bad.

But that's just the thing.  I'm not spinning anything.  I was merely presenting how the relation between US and European sales of the Metroid series typically falls into a 4 to 1 ratio.  And when asked why I presented sales of the Metroid Prime Trilogy against Metroid: Other M, I stated the notion that for a majority of Wii owners, those are new games.  That statement has no relevancy to the first week sales at all.  Only to the question posed.

Why do so many of you insinuate a notion that is irrelevant to the facts presented?  Not once in my posts did I suggest the sales of Metroi: Other M were good, respectable, etc...  Read the context, fellas.
