This implies that Metroid and Halo have the same demographics, or Halo's overlaps with Metroid's.
This is not the case. Gamers arn't that broadly classified.

I suppose I'm just dissapointed with the sales, and there's no hiding- no way of getting out of it;
Gaming has changed.
Back when I started gaming, there was no such thing as an "FPS" (I remember Duke Nukem Forever vividly). Now it's the "in thing"
Surely this should mean that Other M would sell well? Quite the opposite. These so-called "hardcore" gamers see a game as "hardcore" and "mature" due to being able to blow stuff up. Hence the Wii isn't recognised, due to poorer graphics. This results in less of Other M's target audience OWNING a Wii, let alone getting the game...
Perhaps I'm blowing things out of proportion, but I preferred a world where you weren't recognised for owning a different console to other people, and it was just considered "geeky". I KNOW metroid games dont normally SELL THAT WELL but still

Other M is being seriously outperformed by the pprior Metroid game on Wii. This is nont a problem with the Wii. It's a problem with the game.

The question then would be *what,* though, as I would like to cover all ground to make sure it doesn't slide into a "Malstrom Was Right" hate-fest of some sort.
This definitely wouldn't be the first time that a second installation of a franchise has under-performed on Wii, though it may be the first time its happened to Nintendo (maybe. Galaxy 2 might, but at the levels its pulling its not as significant). Similar factors may play in here that crippled No More Heroes 2, for instance.

Malstrom wouldn't be right about hating the game. It would be he was right in this not being the kind of Metroid game people like, no matter how good or bad it is.
