I would like to add the following point.

Sakamto stated clearly he wanted to take back Samus and Metroid, with a real story and characterization. In some way it means the outing of the more 'purist' fans - those who favor the shallow bountyhunter type.0 Those fans would never be happy with the new direction.

So the dissent from some fans is more or less planned. Or at least a to be expected consequence of the reboot. Nintendo had to expect this in some way. Time will tell if those lost 'purist' fans are replaced by new and more mainstream fans - Nintendo's clear goal with Other M. 

You are so wrong

Leave the nest of VGchartz You are underestimating the amount of angry fans

Oh adam I need this please ...pretty please.  It should be "give me my f...ing weapons adam!

The truth hurts. Its numbers for the first week were nearly 300 000. Not so bad for a so called non-metroid game. We'll see how long its legs are.... but it isn't bombing.  

It finished about 80,000 below Corruption. Corruption had decent legs; we'll see if Other M does.

Worldwide? Disappointing. My prediction had been for around 500,000, mostly off gains in Japan.
